Peaches, apricots, almonds, soft ginger, marzipan — gentle and inviting
Smooth, balanced — honey, caramel, lemon, tropical fruit, gentle nuttiness from the Amontillado
Medium — toasty warmth, lingering citrus, dried fruit — the sherry adding just enough depth
Glenkinchie DE — Amontillado sherry finish on the Lowland Classic Malt. 43%. Gentle sherry for gentle whisky.
Peach and almond nose. Honeyed caramel palate. Toasty citrus finish. Gentle depth from the Amontillado.
Glenkinchie DE earns a 7 — the Amontillado adds welcome depth without overwhelming at £60. A gentle introduction to sherried whisky.
