Kininvie – Works Single Malt 50cl (50cl, 47%)

Kininvie – Works Single Malt 50cl is a whisky from Kininvie (Speyside). Bottled at 47% ABV, 50cl. 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. One for the scientifically minded, this expression is the result of an experiment at Kininvie to investigate how triple distillation mass balance, used in Irish whiskey distillation, affects the flavour of Scotch.
