The Glenkinchie 2007 Distillers Edition is a remarkable single malt Scotch whisky from the Lowlands, just outside Edinburgh. This 2007 vintage is a testament to the art of double maturation, with the initial ageing occurring in classic bourbon casks, followed by a secondary maturation in Xeres Amontillado casks. The Amontillado sherry, a dry wine that strikes a balance between Fino and Oloroso, imparts a rounded and complex flavor to the whisky.
Bottled in 2019, twelve years after its initial cask ageing, this special Glenkinchie release is a limited edition as part of the renowned Distillers Edition series. It boasts a refined alcohol by volume (ABV) of 43% and comes in a 700 ml bottle. The Glenkinchie distillery, a proud representative of the Lowland region, has crafted this single malt with meticulous care and expertise.
On the nose, this whisky presents a bouquet of fruity notes, complemented by honey, vanilla, and subtle hints of wood. The palate is light yet intricate, offering layers of honey and fruits, enhanced by a sprinkle of pepper spice. The finish is both long and satisfying, with lingering fruity and slightly spicy undertones.
Aromas of sweet honey, hazelnuts, and malt seamlessly transition to flavors reminiscent of freshly cut grass, barley, ripe apples, and limes. The finish, true to its promise, extends the experience with vanilla and additional fruity notes. The influence of the Amontillado sherry cask finishing is evident, adding an extra dimension of fruity flavors to the traditionally light spirit.
