This bottling of a Glenkinchie single malt was produced by independent bottler Gordon & MacPhail as part of their Connoisseurs Choice series, here with the Cream Map label that was common between 1989 and 1997. The whisky was distilled in 1974.
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.
