Glenkinchie is one of the 6 Lowland distilleries left. It is owned by Diageo and based in Edinburgh.
Here are my tasting notes.
Nose: Honey, oak, floral, vanilla Palate: Sweet honey, spiced oak, vanilla, pears, citrus. Smooth and light Finish: Fairly short but with a nice peppery tang
This is a nice summer dram. Light and fruity, fairly smooth but with a nice twist of wood and spices. Easy drinking, not complex but pleasant.

It is indeed a decent summer malt - very 'herbal/grassy'.
Personally I wished the flavor matched their packaging; their presentation (box & bottle) are quite nice, but your score of 79 is pretty appropriate.
