Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is the Lowlands in a glass: a 12-year-old single malt from Glenkinchie Distillery that took over from the earlier 10-year-old as the primary Lowland expression in the Classic Malts range. The upgrade shows in a fuller, more complex profile. Expect delicate floral aromas up front, then crisp apple and pear, soft honey, a light touch of baking spice and creamy vanilla rounding everything out, bottled at 43% ABV. It suits the drinker taking a first step into single malt who wants elegance and orchard fruit, and it earns a place in a collector's lineup as a clear example of the Lowland style. Pour it neat, add a drop of water to open it up, or set it beside other Lowland malts for a side-by-side tasting. We carry it because it is an honest, well-made expression of its region, the bottle we reach for when someone asks what a gentle, floral, fruit-forward Scotch should taste like.
Pairs well with

- Apple or pear tart — Desserts with fruit components echo the apple, pear, honey and vanilla notes in the glass.
- Lowland whisky tasting night — Pouring it beside other Lowland malts highlights its gentle florals, honeyed sweetness and creamy vanilla finish.
