The peppery burn arrives after the citrus and remains as it fades along with the leathery honey. They call this a lady&#8217;s whisky, but I can only imagine her with a name like Bertha because this one is pretty tough. I mean that it&#8217;s definitely not feminine. A bit of water starts to release spices &#8211; ginger, pepper and a feint sage &#8211; and the citrus is toned down significantly. It becomes a lightly salted blend of citrus, banana, peach and finishes with leathery banana and vanilla. This is definitely an enjoyable drink and my first Lowland Scotch Whisky.<\/p>\n<p>Glenkinchie 20 2010 Bottling Note:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The 2010 special release from Lowland distillery Glenkinchie.
