This handsome chap before you is the first permanent no age statement single malt from Glen Keith that the distillery in Speyside has released. Matured in ‘traditional’ American oak casks and bottled at 40% ABV, the release of this laid-back malt is very welcome indeed...
Sweet and crisp with orchard fruits and a malty character. Toffee apples and banana skins linger.
Through oaked dryness and an oily note comes vanilla sweetness with helpings of apricot yogurt, dried mango and nectarines. Suggestions of chocolate pudding, a slight grassiness and a little spice form the backdrop.
Subtle floral notes and new oak, with a little honey.

Came to me as a gift. A really nice, sweet enjoyable whisky considering its NAS and price point. I get toffee, bananas and nuts. Would definitely buy this again
Mediocre at best. Clearly Speyside but not the best. The slightest dash of water calms the 'edge' and improves the nose somewhat. Those in search of a creamy, smooth Speyside look elsewhere.

Was given a glass of this to try, by my brother-in-law. Really nice. A slight sweetness. Not peaty. Neither he, nor I like very peaty whiskies. Will treat myself to a bottle, next time I am shopping.
My niece and her husband bought me this for my 70th. Truth I had never heard of it before, however I am enjoying it so much I will be buying it, and telling my friends all about it and the distillery.
