Kininvie Batch #001 Whisky 17 Year Old · 1996 Vintage
Out of stock
A rare Kininvie bottled for the Tawainese travel retail market only and one of the first official bottles to be released from this secret distillery within The Balvenie distillery complex.
Ex-American and European Sherry oak cask matured.
Very much in keeping with the Balvenie/Glenfiddich house style, why have the Grant family been hiding this stock from us for so long? oh well better late than never!

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-gold with coppery highlights and a subtle mahogany edge, emanating a warm, sun-bronzed glow.
Nose
Bright dried apricot leads into biscuits in melted butter, honey and golden syrup, with toasted oak and a touch of elegant spice.
Palate
Spiced white chocolate, ripe apple and custard Danish, sugared almonds and marzipan mingle on the palate, delivering a creamy confectionary sweetness with a touch of warm spice.
Finish
Aromatic spice lingers with toasted vanilla, wisps of marshmallows, and a delicate cocoa powder kiss that leaves a warm, comforting echo.
