Four Corners of Scotland Collection: Glenkinchie 16

The Four Corners Glenkinchie 16 Year Old is the first release from the ‘Four Corners of Scotland Collection’. This limited-edition series of Single Malts commemorates the transformation of the homes of Glenkinchie, Cardhu, Caol Ila, and Clynelish in 2020. The four distilleries represent the ‘four corners of Scotland’ and the regional variations of Lowland (Glenkinchie), Speyside (Cardhu), Islay (Caol Ila) and Highland (Clynelish) crucial to the art of whisky blending at the heart of Johnnie Walker. 

Four Corners Glenkinchie 16 Year Old is exclusively available to purchase at the Lowland distillery. Matured in refill and freshly charred hogsheads casks, this unique bottling will retail at £150 per 700ml, is bottled at 50.6%ABV and just 2,502 bottles are available.

The Four Corners Glenkinchie 16 Year Old Tasting Notes

The official tasting notes for this whisky are: A fragrant, fresh and elegant example of Glenkinchie with fruity notes of baked apple combined with subtle creamy traces of mossy aromas. The texture is luscious and smooth, opening with sweet flavours, swiftly followed by slightly drying and spicy tones which are perfectly balanced by appetising juicy acidity. The finish is elegantly dry and crisp, carrying an attractive aftertaste of white pepper. Reminiscent of the distillery’s rural setting, this excellent aperitif malt brings up a touch of vanilla ice cream, countered by a sharper freshness when added a splash of water.
