The Story of the Cask:
A very rare Independently bottled single cask 12 year old Glenkinchie. Situated just outside Edinburgh often referred to as "Edinburgh Malt".
Glenkinchie has long been considered as a benchmark for the Lowland style, elegant, approachable and quiety complex.
This particular cask was matured in a cery active refill hogshead. While technically refill, the oak has played a confident role over the 12 years of maturation adding a layer of toffee sweetness and soft structure.
The bright grassy freshness and gentle fruit that define Glenkinchie continue to shine through this single cask and supported by the wood finish.
Finn Thomson grew up being inspired by his Granddad, Michael who spent the 1980s and 1990s selecting and collecting the young casks of single malts and grains that had formed the secret recipe of the Beneagles blend, handed down over the generations. In doing so, he accumulated one of Scotland’s largest private cask collections.
