This bottling from the Distillers Edition of the Classic Malts of Scotland was matured in American and European oak casks and received a post-maturation in Amontillado sherry casks.
Glenkinchie was for a long time an unnoticed distillery, which, although founded in 1837, only became better known when it was included in the Classic Malts of Scotland. It is located south-east of Edinburgh in the Lowlands and today has a character all of its own due to the largest stills in the Lowlands and the hard water from Hopes Reservoir.
The Speyside lies in the north-east of the Highlands and is considered the centre of Scotland's whisky production. Around the towns of Elgin, Rothes, Keith and Dufftown there are more distilleries than anywhere else in Scotland, including big names such as Glenfarclas, Glenlivet, Macallan and many more.
Elegance and complexity are often cited as characteristic features of Speyside malts, but the variety of whiskies produced here is too great to speak of a single style.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
