A 28-year-old Glen Keith from the infamous WhiskySponge, bottled at 51.9% from the marriage of a 1991 refill barrel and a 1993 refill hogshead. 89.67pts Whiskybase.
Tasting Note
"Whisky Sponge Edition number 62 is a 28 year old, multi-vintage Glen Keith. It was created by mixing together a 1991 refill barrel and a 1993 refill hogshead. The 1991 barrel was softer and displayed more wood influence, whereas the 1993 refill hoggie was fresher, tarter and showed rather a lot of exotic fruits. The combination has worked extremely well, with the richness and maturity of the 91 balancing beautifully with the fruitiness of the 93. Overall it displays a mature, classical Speyside character with waxes, oils, preserved green and exotic fruits and light spicy notes. Dreamy whisky for escapism, relaxation and performative steampunk rituals. Please remember to wear goggles while enjoying this fine single malt, so as to catch the tears of joy as they roll down your cheeks."
700 mlEvan’s Tasting Note
Nose: Lychee. lemonade, honeydew melon, kiwis, agave syrup, tapioca pudding, candied ginger, assorted gummy bears, and milky and honey-sweetened chai tea.
Palate: Pear nectar, soft lemon and pomelo citrus, yellow kiwi, marshmallows, angel food cake, more lychee, dragon fruit, macadamia nuts, and Earl Grey Tea flavoured macarons.
Finish: Plenty of white fruit notes with a nutty and starchy dryness that settles in on the fade.
Comment: Lovely old Glen Keith with plenty of zingy fruit notes, which is exactly how it should be. Nothing is out of place in this dram.
Producer Tasting Note
“Nose: softly waxy and full of crystalised and candied fruits. Easy going, lightly oily and full of extremely enticing Speyside fruity goodness. Palate: hyper quaffable mature Speyside malt. The rich fruitiness of the distillate is balanced perfectly by a firm wood spiciness and a lovely waxy texture in between. Hugely pleasurable for lazy evening sipping. Finish: Medium in length and warming, with a focus on on waxes, mineral oils and overripe green fruits.”
