- Description
- Glenkinchie's 10-year-old from 1987 represents an earlier expression of the Lowlands' lightest and most delicate single malt, now superseded by the 12-year-old. The profile leans toward orchard fruits, honey, and herbaceous notes characteristic of the region's unpeated, lightly matured style. Fine and elegant rather than bold, the texture is gentle with a clean, short finish. A rare snapshot of how Glenkinchie was presented in the 1980s, suited to whisky historians and collectors of Lowland expressions.
