Kininvie is a unique single malt distillery founded on six copper stills nestled in the Conval hills of Dufftown Speyside. First opened in July 1990 it has taken three decades of quiet patient and devoted care to get to this point. A treasured secret until now known by only a few Kininvie is at peak perfection - now the first house malt is ready for release. Made in small batches every bottle is individually numbered with each batch number and the year of distillation appearing on the label. This scarce 1990 first batch contains malt whisky from the very first distillation matured in a mix of American hogshead and sherry casks. Rich and vibrant on the nose it features ripe fleshy fruit notes overlaid with a creamy vanilla toffee sweetness and a whisper of leafy summer blossom. Beautifully soft and mellow with a luxuriously silky texture the rich vanilla oakiness - resulting from 23 years of maturation - gives an incredible depth of flavour and sweetness. Woody spices such as cinnamon nutmeg and cloves are layered with zesty citrus and candied orange peel. Enduringly sweet on the finish this highly collectable release would make an inspired gift idea for lovers of single malt or a special addition to any drinks cabinet.
