A dry, refined character born just twenty miles from Scotland's capital naturally makes Glenkinchie "The Edinburgh Malt." Its aromatic smoothness brings to mind cut flowers and creamy lemon cheesecake. Crisp and focused, with a herbal, drying finish, this is an ideal aperitif and partner to smoked fish, sushi or scallops. George and John Rate founded the distillery in 1837. Rebuilt sixty years later, it boasts two great copper pot stills, among Scotland's largest. Today, Glenkinchie is one of just three distilleries to survive in the Lowlands, drawing its water from a source in the Lammermuir Hills, and ageing its spirit for 12 years in oak casks. Whether it's Glenkinchie amid the rolling barley fields of the south or Talisker on the far sea coast of Skye, each Classic Malt is true to its origins, distilled in the same way and in the same place as always. Yet this is not enough. Each Classic Malt is selected for its origin, indeed, but alove all for its taste. Whichever Classic Malt you select, you taste Scotland's finest malt whiskey.

Critic reviews and blind-tasting competition results for this bottle.
The aroma is quite clean with a moderate amount of cereal, heather, and wood spices. The taste is very mellow and slightly sweet. The finish is fruity with orchard fruits as the highlight.
