Kininvie The First Drops

according to The Spirits Business, each of which will price around £400 (about $605 USD).

“The whisky produced at the Kininvie distillery is of exceptionally good quality,” said Malt Master Brian Kinsman in a statement. “After twenty-five years, we’re delighted that the liquid is now ready and we can release the very first drops of Kininvie, straight from the casks where they have been maturing since the distillery’s first days.”

Joining this release, by the way, is the third batch of the 23 year old expression previously put to market. This offering, according to Tom’s Whisky Reviews, is “liquid taken from casks that were laid to rest in 1991.” It will price at £120 (around $185 USD) and will go into the same markets as the First Drops whisky.
