Did you miss out on one of our famous virtual tastings? Most of our tastings sell out, but occasionally, there are some kits leftover. This tasting consists of 6-8 samples (depending on the tasting) and can be enjoyed at your convenience. A QR code on the box is linked to the tasting video on our YouTube page.
Original Tasting Description
"It has been two years since we've had a new offering from The Whisky Trail in-store, and with 8 new whiskies that landed, we have a very cool tasting range. We will taste our way through a pair of Blair Athols, 13 year old Dailuaine, 15 year old BenRiach, 20 year old Benrinnes, 35 year old Strathclyde, 49 year old Invergordon, and a mysterious 38 year old Blended Malt, 190 years of Scotch whisky in one tasting. Banter is likely to include trips down random rabbit holes about Knights, stained glass windows, and Highland Coos... and or something completely unrelated!"
Glenkinchie 12 Year
$97.99
Glenkinchie has long been known as "The Edinburgh Malt", though that looks set to change in very short order, as the Holyrood Distillery comes online in the heart of Scotland's capital. But nicknames aside, Glenkinchie really should need little in the way of introduction. It has become one of the foremost examples of what we consider the 'typical' Lowlands style: light, floral, elegant.

Producer Tasting Note
Nose: Aromatic, vanilla, cut flowers and beneath, a clean, toasty note. Increasingly sweet and creamy, with fresh citrus, lemon cheesecake.
Palate: Crisp mid-palate then butter icing, lemon cheesecake and freesias.
Finish: Herbal and drying, a little like potpourri.
Glengoyne 10 Year
$84.99
Only 12 miles from Glasgow, and although a Highland by definition, these whiskies are known for a more Lowland style due to the use of unpeated malt. Also unique is the choice of sherry used for cask finishing. Instead of the more common olorosso wood, Glengoyne uses predominately palo cortado, resulting in more nutty flavors. This version has a light nose, and is creamy smooth with notes of vanilla.

Producer Description
"In the whisky that made our name, light smoke intertwines with rich citrus and exotic spices. Subtly smoky, surprisingly sweet, it opens up the world of lightly peated whisky."
Tomintoul Peaty Tang
$68.99
Tomintoul Peaty Tang is made from a combination of unpeated Tomintoul malt and heavily peated Ballantruan malt also produced at Tomintoul. The result is a Speyside single malt with soft, approachable peat and smoke.
