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.
Was: £137.09Now: £29.13
Everything I like in a young Speyside. Light, slight fruitiness, nice sharp nose, nicely balanced. Plus found it for £20 in the local off licence - happy days!
