- Description
- Glenkinchie 12 Year Old represents the last of Diageo's Lowland distillery offerings, a region known for lighter, more delicate spirits than their Highland and Island cousins. The 12-year maturation softens the spirit's grassy character with subtle orchard fruit and cereal notes, while the 43% ABV maintains enough body to carry the distillery's signature floral and honeyed notes. The texture is smooth and approachable, with a clean, dry finish. This is an ideal introduction to Lowland Scotch for those seeking something approachable yet characterful.
