Glenkinchie 27 Year Old Special Release Scotch

Sensory overload, journey through time with Glenkinchie 27 Year Old, a venerable special release, bottled at its natural cask strength. Each drop of this exquisite single malt is a homage to the elaborate porcelain art of ancient Chinese dynasties, encapsulating an era’s floral opulence.

Echoing the meticulous artisanship of historic imperial treasures, this whisky, the most aged ever released directly from the Glenkinchie distillery, has been nurtured for over a quarter of a century, yielding a complexity as profound as the dynasties it honors.

Initial hints of apple blossom give way to an almond richness, intertwined with vanilla’s soft whisper, culminating in a meadow-fresh vibrancy. The taste, sophisticated and textured, commences with a light sweetness, evolving into an elegant dryness, all underscored by a spirited dance of oak-infused spice, resonating in a persistently refined and dry afterglow.

TASTING NOTES

A hint of fruit as the nose opens conjures an image of the apple orchard, soon joined by light touches of almond and vanilla, before lush meadow-grass aromas develop the floral theme. Smooth and pleasing in texture, the opulent and rounded taste starts lightly sweet and becomes elegantly drying, with a vibrant oaky spiciness that persists in the dry finish.
