Glenkinchie 12 Year

Way too light

This is pricey for a 12 yr but not many lowlands out there. Nose is floral pear and malt with nutmeg spiced oak. Rich and inviting aroma. Palate is thick flavored poached pear simmered in baking spices and butter. There is malt, honey, heather, oak and a pinch of salt balancing the sweet. Finish is long fade of palate with slightly drying tannins at close. This is a highly satisfying malt but needs to clipped by a few $ to truly compete. Kept from 4 star by value only......89/100......superior to many 12 yr malts including the similar Aultmore and nipping at the heels of Cragganmore. Actually reminds me a lot of Dalwinnie 15. If this was under $60 its an easy 4 star

Light and woody

Had a feeling of a young dram, some spices. Not happy.
