Kinclaith 35yo 1969-2004 53.3% Signatory Vintage
The fat lady sang at Kinclaith long before its due, but I've managed to come across some scarce samples during the last years. This one smells quite spirity, I wouldn't think it'd been casked for more than 20 years, or even that long. Given time it gets more sulphury. Extremely peppery taste, chilli, dried spices, a burning sensation. I'll add some water. With water it gets acidic, dry, fino sherry? Quite exciting, a real explosion of hard flavours, no honey or creamy toffee here. If you like a malt that talks, this is perfect, and I do!!
Maybe not presentable for bygone days Kinclaiths: 8.5
Kinclaith 16yo 1966-1982 40% CC G&M
One malt that today is almost impossible to find anywhere, it's an honour to finally taste the Kinclaith. The taste is a bit off, some beetroot, canned enchalots and fried tomatoes. It finishes very mild and almost boring.
Could have worked with game meat: 5
