Nose: Nuttiness and apple notes come to the fore on the nose and, breaking through as you run this around your nostrils, pear drops!
Palate: A really refreshing, juicy fruit salad awaits on the palate. There is definitely some cherry in there for those willing to hang on long enough.
Finish: Strong, dry (contrasting against the juice) scrumpy apple cider right on cue and it sticks around satisfyingly.
I quite like this. A bottle would be well placed right at the heart of the table to accompany a Scottish BBQ – 6/10.

Nose: Soft cedar wood, thin honey and cherry aromas. Natural sweetness comes through.
Palate: Developing boldness, sweet with notes of butterscotch, cocoa and stemmed cherry.
Finish: Bold kick on the finish with a long dry fruit.
I liked this whisky.

This is a nice tasting addition to whiskydom. Nice colour, golden and enticing.
Nose ? Rum & raisin ice cream, with a nice oaky tinge.
Palate ? Quite gentle & warming across the back of the tongue. Mild & sweet honey flavours - very smooth !
Finish ? Sadly, the flavour vanishes quickly, with a medium length warming feel in the stomach. The honey sweetness lingers at the back of the mouth, but all too briefly.
Liked overall but it needs more stickability.

Nose: Light, perhaps delicate. Subtle aroma of honey and a touch of vanilla.
Palate: Zesty feel initially, with a gentle sweet vanilla.
Finish: Quite a strong zesty feel to this, with an end of sweetness which fades to a malty spice.
Would recommend.

Nose: Soft and sweet. Delicate honey, cinnamon baked apples, vanilla. Spicey prickle of oak. Some very light dried fruits coming from a lighter sherry. Continental pastries, maybe a hint of a soft fine leather. Touch of banana. Very beautiful and very complex.
Palate: Lovely weight and body, great delivery. Stone fruits, sweet and sour at the same time, Earl Grey tea. Vanilla custard and some little spices that stop the sweetness running away. Something slightly earthy hiding in there that I can't quite put my finger on, almost mushroomy.
Finish: Medium. Baked pastries with apple compote. Vanilla, some cinnamon and a little squeeze of citrus juice. Gets oaky right at the end.
It's fantastic. Great balance and complexity.
I would absolutely recommend this whisky.
lovely stuff

Nose: Vanilla ice cream topped with ripe orchard fruit, also quite floral, and fresh, with a nice bouquet of spring petals, in full blossom, which goes well with the sweet, wood and spices.
Palate: Creamy and mouth coating from the get go, with some pepper up front, before revealing butterscotch , oak and zingy citrus as well as chocolate covered sugared orange peel candy. Add a pinch of cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg and you’ve got yourself an ace! Superb stuff.
Finish: Lots of chocolate, wood and orange marmalade. Sweet, yet spicy with some wood spices.

Nose : Lower ABV means you can get your nose in and take it what at first is quite subtle fruitiness. It opens in the air and sweetens and becomes less tangy and more inviting (to me).
Taste : Not too much extra from what expected from the nose, fruits are there, some light pepper.
Finish : Medium , retains what came from the taste - not particularly complex - warmth.
I'm sure others may go for it however for a 23 YO I'm not getting what I hope for in terms of maturity/complexity but the price matches that.
First time trying a Kininvie, glad it was single and this special 23YO.

Nose. Initial sniff on first pour. Dried pineapple. Pineapple cube sweeties. Fruit salad chews. Grapefruit. Light oak spices. Very delicately fruity. Not in your face, but gentle. Very easy to get your nose right in there. After some time the fruit notes become more forthcoming and we also get some creamy vanilla and orange juice. There are also some summer berries, jammy and delicious. This is an exceptionally juicy, fruity nose.
Palate. The arrival is fruity and spicy. Quite the bite of pepper and chilli in front of the juices of pineapple, orange and red apples. The mouthfeel is reasonably oily and very coating with intensive spicy fruit flavour. Once the spices calm the flavour develops to contain even more waxy fruit, a summer fruit salad bowl brimming with juices. Some creamy vanilla custard and oak tannins round things off.
Finish. Spices return and creamy vanilla remain, while the flavours dry out to reveal some oak dust and dried pineapple. A medium-long length duration.
Do I like it? It's glorious stuff. So drinkable, warming, relaxing. Love it.
