Michael Jackson
80- Nose
- Light, polished oak. Lemon, cinnamon and ginger.
- Palate
- Assertive flavours. Sweet then suddenly dry, salty, and nutty.
- Finish
- Long, echoing interplay of crystal-sugar sweetness and oaky dryness. Soothing.
- Comment
- As a relatively restrained whisky, Glenkinchie stands up well to the amontillado finish.
Jim Murray
85- Nose
- Roast chestnut, malty, sherryish. Brisk and brittle, impressive.
- Palate
- Shows at first a biscuity-sweetness. Big and malty while the sherry remains slightly subdued.
- Finish
- Quite long but now oaky as the malt and sherry seem played out.
- Comment
- Far more complex than the standard Glenkinchie. Quite intriguing stuff, not least because it is best very slightly chilled.
