Paid $190 for this bottle. This is a bottle kill review. I will try to summarize what this bottle offered. Nose: So green! Green tapioca, underripe fruits, Granny Smith apple, grass. Best utilization of grass notes of any whisky I can remember. Palate: Sweet, as expected arrival, but then there’s an inexorable transition to smoky, spicy dryness. Burning grass. Menthol. Green tea. Finish: Woody, herbaceous. A little mezcal smokiness. Minty too. Decent linger. This can handle some water. Water will smooth out the edges and transitions. Make things taste a little more cooked. Very sad to see this bottle empty. I would love to have another at the same price. Pros: So unexpectedly charismatic for Glenkinchie. A vibrant dram for its age, with a dynamic story to tell. Cons: Bottled in 2010, and limited to 4854 bottles. Probably won’t be able to find these anymore. They aren’t really a collectible, so it’s hard to get even on the secondary market. Mark: 93/100 (range 92-95. N = 7)
