Stop number 76 on the SDT is Glen Keith. I really don’t know anything about this Speyside distillery and today was so hectic I didn’t have time to look up any info on them. This bottle comes by way of the independent bottlers at Alexander Murray. A 21 year old that was distilled in 1995. Bottled at 43% ABV and I believe it is both non chill filtered and natural color of yellow gold. The nose starts with honey and lots of oak. Sweet fruity notes. Apples, pears, plums, white grape/peach juice. Almost sticky sweet. Subtle toffee and brown sugar. Powdered ginger, some nutmeg and more oak. Very perfumed. The palate arrives very sweet like the nose. Unfortunately that’s where the similarities ended. Bitter oak with sharp tannins. A little cinnamon, anise and ginger. There are some fruity notes like plums, apples, underripe melons and apricots. That bitter oak comes back and dominates everything. Light bodied mouthfeel, oily, creamy and dry. The finish is short to medium short. The mouthfeel disappears quickly and just leaves that dry bitterness with some oak and a vague afterthought of apricots. I have to say that I was fairly distracted while reviewing this single malt. It’s @LeeEvolved ’s Birthday and we were texting back and forth giving each other the business. Even if that wasn’t the case, I don’t think I could have gotten into this one. That bitterness ruined almost the entire experience. The nose was the only saving grace. For a 21 year old the price of $125 isn’t that bad, but the quality just isn’t there. Oh well, move on to the next one. Thanks to @Telex for the sample. 3.5 Cheers
