Please note much creasing to the box. The 10 year old Glenkinchie has been superseded by the 12 Year Old. This one was on the market through the 1990s. Now discontinued. The lowlands whiskies of Scotland in many respects reflect the landscape they are produced in. The countryside is certainly not without natural beauty, however it lacks the dramatic and rugged contrasts of the Highland and Island regions. Lowland whiskies consequently are generally used as background material for blends and have historically been unappreciated (or at least largely neglected) by malt enthusiasts.
Nevertheless, it would be a mistake to belittle the Lowlands. Their whiskies offer a refreshing contrast to the heavier, peatier malts of the north. Indeed, whiskies such as the twelve year old from the Glenkinchie distillery possess unique qualities of their own which repay due attention. Located near the village of Pencaitland and first founded in the 1830's, the Glenkinchie distillery has since been renovated and today includes a small museum.
