Kininvie 17 years 1996 - 2014 Batch No.1 35cl

Founded in 1990, the Kininvie distillery is an unknown single malt whisky to many. The first bottling was released in 2006 under the name Hazelwood. The founder and owner of the distillery is William Grant & Sons. Kininvie is therefore the little sister to big brothers Glenfiddich and Balvenie, and production largely disappears into the blended whisky Grants and blended malt whisky Monkey Shoulder. A single malt from Kininvie Distillery, especially of this age, can be called rare. This 17 year old Kininvie is a Travel Exclusive bottling.
