This bottling of a 23-year-old Kininvie was distilled in 1990, matured in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks and was bottled in 2014 as Batch 2 of the series.
Kininvie is a distillery in Dufftown, Moray, which has been producing since 1990. It belongs to William Grant & Sons (Glenfiddich / Balvenie) and is also located on the premises of the Balvenie distillery. Most of the production (24/7) is used in blends (e.g. Monkey Shoulder).
The Speyside lies in the north-east of the Highlands and is considered the centre of Scotland's whisky production. Around the towns of Elgin, Rothes, Keith and Dufftown there are more distilleries than anywhere else in Scotland, including big names such as Glenfarclas, Glenlivet, Macallan and many more.
Elegance and complexity are often cited as characteristic features of Speyside malts, but the variety of whiskies produced here is too great to speak of a single style.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
