Glenkinchie Distillers Edition 2009-2021 Lowland Single Malt [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Lowland single malt that showcases the artistry of double maturation?

The Glenkinchie Distillers Edition 2009-2021 represents twelve years of patient craftsmanship, elevated by a distinctive Amontillado sherry cask finish. This Lowland single malt demonstrates how secondary maturation can transform a whisky’s character, adding layers of complexity that complement rather than overpower the distillery’s signature gentle style. While expressions like Deanston Virgin Oak showcase new wood influence, this Glenkinchie benefits from seasoned Spanish oak that previously held fortified wine.

**Technical Specifications:**
• Distillery: Glenkinchie – established 1837 in Scotland’s Lowlands
• Region: Lowland – known for approachable, elegant single malts
• ABV: 43% – higher strength preserves the complex aromatics

Our team at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store has found this expression strikes an exceptional balance between accessibility and sophistication. The Amontillado influence adds a distinctive nuttiness that sets it apart from standard Lowland offerings, creating depth without the intensity found in heavily sherried whiskies.
