Time to drink!

“Lovely floral dram, and I don't enjoy at all floral drams. A must-have.”

Glenkinchie 21 year 1987 Cask Strength Signatory

A 21 year old Glenkinchie, bottled by Signatory. This was distilled on the 22nd October 1987 and matured in hogshead number 2837 before bottling on the 20th January 2009. Part of a release of just 147 bottles!

This dram has a fino-like color.

Palate (94): light, oily, powerful. floral, honey, spices, a little cinnamon, citrus, a little wood.
