This bottling of a 10-year-old Glenkinchie was one of Diageo's standard malts, the so-called Classic Malts. In 2007, the 10-year-old Glenkinchie was discontinued and replaced by a 12-year-old variant. This bottle probably dates back to the 1980s.
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.
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.
