Description
A dry refined character born just 20 miles from Scotland's capital naturally makes Glenkinchie "The Edinburgh Malt". Its aromatic smoothness brings to mind cut flowers and creamy lemon cheesecake. Crisp and focused, with a herbal, drying finish, this is a ideal aperitif and partner to smoked fish, sushi or scallops.

| Taste |
| Distillery: Sweet, soft start becoming flowery. Crisp mid-palate then butter icing, lemon cheesecake and freesias. |
| Finish |
| Distillery: Herbal and drying, a little like pot-pourri. |
