- Description
- Kininvie's 17-year-old from 1996 offers one of the first mainstream opportunities to taste single malt from this understated Speyside distillery. Matured in refill casks, it presents the distillery's true character: elegant, restrained, with honeyed grain and subtle oak influence. The texture is refined and dry, with a lengthy, clean finish. A rare window into a producer that remains underrepresented in many collections.
