Product description
Glenkinchie Distillery is located in the village of Pencaitland, less than 15 miles south-east of Edinburgh.
The distillery is owned by Diageo and supplies malt basically to all company blends. Glenkinchie whisky remained fairly unknown until the late 1980s when United Distillers, Diageo’s predecessor, included 10 years old expression into original Classic Malt series. The 10 years old expression was part of the distillery core range for 20 years, in 2007 it was replaced with 12 years old.

Palate: fruity and floral, apples, pears, bitter orange marmalade, vanilla, hints of aniseed and ginger, delicate grassy and oaky notes.
