Glenkinchie 12 Years Lowlands Single Malt Scotch [700ML]

Description

Looking for a gentle introduction to the world of single malt Scotch whisky that won’t overwhelm your palate?

Glenkinchie 12 Years represents the quintessential Lowland single malt experience, offering an approachable yet sophisticated dram from Scotland’s most accessible whisky region. This award-winning expression has earned recognition at international competitions for its perfectly balanced character that bridges the gap between beginner-friendly and connoisseur-worthy. Unlike the robust intensity found in expressions like Benromach 10 Years or the refined complexity of Tomintoul 16 Years Speyside, Glenkinchie delivers elegant simplicity.
