Seriously? This is 23 yr old? It’s like a kid you just put through 4 years of college, then 2 years of graduate degree, only to find him sitting around all day on your sofa eating chips and watching Oprah. Such a disappointment for his age. Until @LeeEvolved provided a pour of this for our final SDT round, I’d not even heard of this distillery. Apparently it’s just a front for Balvenie to send second rate stuff over into blends. I had this with about 1/2 teaspoon of water. I got a nice floral nose, like Balvenie. But for me, it all fell apart in the palette. Weak green apples and some honey. I don’t know...seriously, for 23 yr old Speysider, I’d expect much more. Thanks Lee—-good to know and experience.

If what ur saying is true, Kininvie is mostly just known as a component of Monkey Shoulder for a reason given how well known and reputed Glenfiddich and Balvenie are.
Haha. Reminds me of Bob Kelso to Elliot Ried: “You’ve put yourself through 4 years of college and 4 years of medical school. So I can safely assume you are at least 8 years old.”
