Glenkinchie 12 Year Old Single Malt. Lowlands, Scotland. ABV: 43%. Tasted at Sentinel Bar, $17.
Colour: Bright gold
Nose: Lemony scents. Can’t discern or describe any of the other notes (or at the very least I’m running out of patience to keep sniffing and just want to taste the damn thing!).
Palate: light woody flavours with a hint of sweetness.
Finish: Quite a dry finish, very mellow though.
Comments: Has hints of a much more mellow, immature Glenmorangie Nectar D’Or, but without the sweetness or body. Kinda like the less attractive, socially awkward little sister – definitely not your first preference on a night out, but after a few drinks you’re not exactly going to say ‘no’.
