For completeness we dug this 2014 bottled Glenkinchie 12 out of the archives and find it sits somewhere between the previous two we have tried. 82/100
Glenkinchie 12 Years Old (43%, OB, 2014)
Glenkinchie Distillery Only (48%, OB, 6000 Bottles, 2016)
A Distillery Only available limited edition bottling of Glenkinchie, 6,000 bottles were released in 2016. A more tannic and spicy alternative to the standard bottlings. 85/100
Glenkinchie 2004 Distillers Edition (43%, OB, G/289-7-D, 2016)
Perhaps a difference in the Amontillado sherry casks used for maturation or a result of the slightly newer style of Glenkicnhie spirit we are finding? This expression was much more woody, grassy and chewier on the palate which definitely improves the experience when compared to the previous 1999 Distillers Edition we had sampled. 87/100
Glenkinchie 10 Years Old (43%, OB, 2006)
The original Classic Malts 10 year old release from Glenkinchie. Discontinued in 2007 and replaced by a 12 year old. 79/100
Glenkinchie 12 Years Old (43%, OB, 2017)
The ‘standard’ 12 year old bottling from the Lowland Glenkinchie Distillery. With a little more to it than I remember. 83/100
