Glen Keith has always been very good to me. The distillery reopened very recently, but whether that new spirit will also be launched as single malt is anyone’s guess. Chivas Brothers play their cards close to their chest. So we will settle for this 20 Year Old from Douglas Laing.
Wonderful nose that reminds me of warm apple pie. But there is more than just apple. Marzipan, honey, sweet malt and pineapple peel. Hay, too. Even a touch of woodsmoke. Very nice.
Very soft arrival, that is less fruity than the nose made me hope. But it develops beautifully. Mildly spicy on pepper and vanilla with a whiff of camphor. The grassy element returns.
The finish on sweet malt and soft spices fades gently.
Very nice Glen Keith, that scores mostly because of its fantastic nose. Around 90 EUR.
