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).

Review and Tasting

Sampled on 19/12/2015

Appearance:

(sample from single bourbon cask No.21, bottle No. 001/460) Clear, golden amber.

Aroma:

Sweet corn, toasty oak, dried fruit, cream-of-soda vanilla and elegant Christmassy spice. More vanilla and toasted almond with water.

Taste:

(with water) Viscous mouthfeel. Faint honeyed sweetness offset by dry oak tannins with rich vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon and cracked black pepper spice.

Aftertaste:

Long, dry toasted oak finish with lingering nutmeg and cracked black pepper spice.

Overall:

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.
