A very special bottling from the Kininvie Distillery’s first day of production on 25th June 1990, aged 25 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead. Bottled at cask-strength without chill-filtration.
Less than 1,600 bottles were release worldwide in November 2015 (with just 550 bottles from cask No. 21 allocated to the UK).
Sampled on 19/12/2015
(sample from single bourbon cask No.21, bottle No. 001/460) Clear, golden amber.
Sweet corn, toasty oak, dried fruit, cream-of-soda vanilla and elegant Christmassy spice. More vanilla and toasted almond with water.
(with water) Viscous mouthfeel. Faint honeyed sweetness offset by dry oak tannins with rich vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon and cracked black pepper spice.
Long, dry toasted oak finish with lingering nutmeg and cracked black pepper spice.
A chance to own a piece of liquid history, and a pretty tasty piece at that with dry toasty oak tannins balanced by rich vanilla with enlivening nutmeg, cinnamon and cracked black pepper spice.
