Been tasting the 10 y.o. Glenkinchie this evening. Not too impressed to be honest. OK, it´s a matter of personal taste of course, to put that first, sure. The nose, fairly allright, actually rather powerfull, i must say that. The arrival, enough spice and pretty intense, so far so good.....but then.....I get a palette of so much floral that overrules the vaniila and honey just too much. Then it goes dry and in a sec...it´s all gone. Leaving me a bit desillusioned. Not bad, not good either.
Drinking Glenkinchie 12 at the mo. Great whisky. Have to say, finally really cool to see someone doing a whisky review that's isn't showing off or talking bs. Great style man, you're making whisky accessible, keep it going man.
It's interesting to me that this 12 yo is generally underrated. Not an expert in Lowland scotch, but I don't see this as being inferior to any highlands I have tried. Not sweet at all for me, if you want sweet , go with Highland Park 18 (not my choice). This is exquisitely floral and vegetal and dry. I didn't like it that much at first, but by the time I was half way though the bottle, I was a convert. Oily, fragrant and traditional. One of a kind.
Greetings from Finland. My favorite whisky is Caol Ila, because it is so well-balanced Islay, but I like various types of single malts.
When I tested this whisky (12), I sensed a sherryish nose, but when I added water, it enhanced into a brandy-like scent. The green flavours remind me of birch leafs and dandelion leafs. I think that it is light and creamy, but complex enough to be interesting. I would offer it to people who are not connoiseurs yet. What do you think about my opinions?
Thank you for the review. Liked it very much and liked the way you compared the two of them. It is a fine Whisky and a lot of people will enjoy it since you have reviewed it. Cheers from Holland.

Cool vids dude, but a wee bit of advice, if you ever do come here, it's not pronounced Edin 'burrow'.
Saying Edin 'bruh' would be close enough to how we actually say it.
Slainte!
