Kininvie Special Release No. 1 'The First Drops' 25 Year Old, Bourbon Cask, Cask #21, 2015, 63.2%

Up until very recently, Kininvie was hidden away. Sharing a site with its more famous sister distillery Balvenie (they share mashtuns and washbacks but have separate stills), Kininvie has been producing malt whisky for the blends of William Grant's such as Monkey Shoulder without the spotlight on its own product. Occasionally, Kininvie is released as Hazelwood and, more recently, it has been bottled under its own name. This Kininvie 1990 25 Year Old Single Cask #21 'The First Drops' is a special release marking the distillery's 25th anniversary, from one of the first casks filled on the distillery's inaugural day.
