Kininvie 1990 25 Year Old Single Cask #21 ‘The First Drops’ 35cl
Lot number: 177-04600
Winning bid: £90
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.
William Grant & Sons are marking Kininvie distillery’s 25 years of operation with the release of three of the first casks to be filled from its inaugural run. Cask numbers 8, 20 and 21 will be individually released in three separate single cask bottlings as Kininvie Special Release #1 ‘The First Drops’, each of which has been allocated for sale in Taiwan, mainland Europe and the UK respectively.
