InchDairnie Distillery has also released KinGlassie Double Matured, available exclusively through The Whisky Club (September launch in Australia).

KinGlassie: Raw vs Double Matured

InchDairnie Distillery has released two expressions under the KinGlassie name, each showing a different side of their heavily peated spirit. While Double Matured is available exclusively through The Whisky Club in Australia, KinGlassie Raw is available here direct for trade and retail customers.
