Glenkinchie 27 Year Old Special Release 2023

Delicate brush strokes record every detail of the blossom, heather and orchard fruit that fell on these bountiful lands. A treasured enameled masterpiece, delicately crafted by expert hands, the porcelain vase is a poetic embodiment of the empire’s rich floral abundance. Mirroring its fine and delicate nature, our malt master drew inspiration from the exquisite porcelain of China’s dynasties to create the oldest-ever Glenkinchie bottling direct from the distillery. Just as it took countless manhours to create the vases, this whisky has been slowly matured for more than twenty-seven years to achieve lush, floral flavours. A hint of fruit as the nose opens conjures an image of the apple orchard, joined by almond and vanilla, before lush meadow-grass aromas develop the floral theme. Smooth and pleasing in texture, the taste starts lightly sweet and becomes drying, with an oaky spiciness in the dry finish.
