Glenkinchie 10 year old was the distillery’s core expression for many years until it was replaced by a 12 year old version in 2007. It’s bottled at 43% ABV.
Glenkinchie 12 year old was introduced in 2007 replacing the previous 10 year old version, but still bottled at the same strength of 43% ABV.
Life is all too fleeting – and there’s nothing like a whisky release countdown timer to reinforce that sense of ephemerality. Urgency and scarcity are powerful motivators. Particularly it seems, this year when that clock is striking both at 6am on The Whisky Exchange as normal, but also in an act of complete marketing replication, six hours earlier at 12am on Master of Malt. I’m totally unconvinced that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery here.
