33 open bottles in my collection ranked through multiple blind tastings. Counting them down! #26: Glenkinchie Distiller’s Edition. Single Malt Scotch. 43% ABV. D2004/B2016 Paid $46 Decent purchase at a sale price. I would consider again if I can find it for under $60. The original Glenkinchie 12 is the abomination of Diageo’s classic malts. Please don’t bother with the original Glenkinchie 12; it put me off this distillery for years. You can literally do anything to that juice and make it better. The 2016 Distiller’s Edition does make improvements by finishing in Amontillado sherry casks. The raw grass, oatmeal, green fruits of the original is balanced well by delicate sherry and dark fruit notes. Pleasant medium body and silky mouthfeel. Sweet, fruity, and floral arrival transitioning to some spices, followed by vanilla and cocoa flavored black tea or even coffee. Not mindblowing stuff, but better than expected. In a blind tasting, I thought this was Balvenie 12 DoubleWood, which is clearly not as good.
