Andrew's Tasting Note

Nose: decadent, floral and honeyed; lemon and pear drops, Dutch Baby pancakes with powdered sugar and maple syrup; polished oak and tropical fruits: bananas, pineapple and nectarines.

Palate: creamy, toasty and floral; rich, fruity and decadently spiced; more Dutch Baby pancakes and powdered sugar with maple syrup; lots going on on the fruit side of things: lemons, nectarines, pineapple and dried apricots; some nice layers, very pleasant and lively.

Finish: light and floral with good length; the fruits and decadent notes fade out slowly.

Comment: while they may not be the most memorable, I have yet to be disappointed by mid 20’s Glen Keith’s; my style of malt, old refill cask matured whisky where the delicate fruits and floral notes are given space to shine.”

86pts Whisky Fun

“These are not the easiest sessions to do, as the whiskies, although very good, are not exactly characterful and the various casks relatively similar. No, I’m not saying this is getting boring! Colour: straw. Nose: a little more buttery and sour, that may be the cask. White wine, lemon-flavoured yogurts, then oolong tea, grass… With water: barley syrup, breakfast cereals. Mouth (neat): good, punchy, citrusy and grassy. Less honey and vanilla this time again. With water: very good. Lemon curd, spread, orange blossom honey. Finish: medium, citrusy. Comments: one more point because I really love citrus in my whisky. But we shan’t try more than one more Glen Keith today, I can tell you…” -
