Glenkinchie - 27 Year Old Natural Cask Strength | Single Malt Scotch Whisky

COLOR:
Deep gold, with good beading.

NOSE:
A mellow and surprisingly direct nose, with light floral grassiness. As it opens, an immediate citrus note of fresh orange juice edges towards apple juice, soon joined by suggestions of flaked almonds and light vanilla. More meadow-grass aromas develop the floral theme. The vanilla note increases slightly with a drop of water, nestling among sweet meadow scents.

TASTE:
Smoothly pleasing in texture and airy to taste; at first lightly sweet, then developing a citrus acidity. Fruitier then, with a delightfully unexpected rich and round style, while becoming lightly drying, with a vibrant oaky spiciness. Appetizing and easy to enjoy straight and with water, which softens the spiciness and brings back the initial sweetness.

FINISH:
Of medium length and rich in character, finishing dry and spicy. A dash of water controls the spiciness nicely.
