Glenkinchie Single Malt Scotch Whisky (20cl) 12 Year Old

Colour

Pale straw gold with a sunlit, clear hue.

Nose

Very aromatic and flowery, like breathing in a country garden. Vanilla with cut flowers—daffodil, blossom and hints of lily—over a clean, toasty base. It grows sweeter and creamier, with a lightly aromatic edge and bright citrus that recalls lemon cheesecake; water deepens the creaminess and perfume.

Palate

A sweet, soft start like crême anglaise gives way to a crisp mid-palate, where butter icing, lemon cheesecake and freesias fuse in a single, floral note. Silky and smooth, especially with a drop of water, finishing clean and lightly sweet.

Finish

Herbal and drying, with a delicate potpourri note that lingers softly.
