Description

Founded in 1958 within the Strathclyde grain distillery complex near Glasgow, Kinclaith was the last malt distillery in the Lowlands before closing in 1975. The small production Kinclaith bottlings are distilled in 1969, and this particular version, distilled in 1969, has matured in a bourbon hogshead cask. Slightly toasted, it opens to jam, plums, anise and tobacco.

Nose
Blackcurrant chews, sweet grapes, crunchy apples and fruit juice tinged cream, with vanilla extract.
Palate
Dark, sweet liquorice to start, with woody spice sitting behind, providing more body. Damp wood develops with rich blackberry tarts and blackberry leaf. A touch of water brings out 'old' flavours - earthy wood and hints of forest floor. It also reveals more of the sweet vanilla from the nose and some sharp stone fruits - apricot and peach.
Finish
Slightly drying, soft oak.
