Kininvie 17
Year Old Batch No.1 exclusive to travel
retail launches first in Taiwan with
Ever Rich Duty Free.
 Whisky
connoisseurs will be pleased to hear
that the rarely seen Kininvie Speyside
single malt whisky has announced the
release of a new Global Travel Retail
exclusive Kininvie 17 year old.
Kininvie distillery which is in a
secluded spot in Dufftown close to its
sister distillery, The Balvenie,
produces the most reclusive of Single
Malts in Speyside.
Unveiled for the first time as a 23 Year
Old expression in the Taiwan domestic
market, owners William Grant & Sons have
announced that the first batch of a new
Global Travel Retail exclusive, 17 Year
Old Kininvie, has been released in
partnership with Ever Rich at Taipei
Taoyuan Airport.
This exceptional whisky is presented in
a 35cl bottle and makes the ideal gift
for the discerning international
traveller or the malt enthusiast.
80% of this exquisite whisky is matured
in American oak barrels with the
remaining 20% resting in the finest
Sherry Casks for 17 years. I have been
told that the Kininvie 17
Year Old batch No. 1 has a classic
Speyside character with a rich, fruity,
floral aroma and an ABV of 42.6%. Every
bottle highlights the year of
distillation, batch number and has an
individual bottle number.
Ian Taylor, Head of Marketing for Global
Travel Retail at William Grant & Sons
commented: "Kininvie is a truly
remarkable whisky, and a great William
Grant’s story. Only a family owned
scotch company could open a distillery
and choose not to release any whisky for
23 years! A lot of people in the know
have been asking us to release Kininvie
for decades, but the family were not to
be rushed.
"Last year a very limited release of
only 7,000 bottles of 23 Year Old from
1990, the first year of distillation,
was offered to malt enthusiasts in
Taiwan and it created waves and
disappeared off the shelves almost
instantly. In Travel Retail we wanted to
be able to offer international
traveller’s something really special - a
highly desirable gift in a delicate box
containing some of the most elegant and
exclusive single malt whisky in the
world. With the release of the first
batch of Kininvie 17 Year Old we have
been able to do this, and I am delighted
that we were able to partner with Ever
Rich for the global premiere to continue
Kininvie’s relationship with the malt
lovers of Taiwan."
