Glen Keith 21 Year Old Scotch Whisky, 70cl - Secret Speyside

Product Information

I wonder if 48% is the correct bottling strength here. Much to admire, but not showing its best without a decent splash of water. Right place, right time

Savoury smoke, more luscious fruit – a sweet, baked apple pie with a slightly caught crust. A little hot, with a blast of cayenne pepper. Some orange zest and ginger playing catch-up, but the enjoyably aromatic smoke is quite dominant. Finish It’s perhaps open to question just how ‘secret’ Longmorn is – the single malt has been launched and relaunched in recent years, amid some controversy over pricing – but it’s certainly rare to see releases from the other three distilleries.

Right place, right timeGlen Keith 21 Year Old er en skotsk whisky på 54.1% vol. Whiskyen er produceret på Glen Keith Distillery. Destilleriet er beliggende i Speyside området. Den uafhængige aftapper Wm Cadenhead Ltd., har aftappet denne flaske som en del af deres “Cadenhead Small Batch” repetoire. Udgivelsen er en single cask whisky fra et genbrugt ex-bourbon hogshead fad. Spritten blev destilleret i 1993, og er herefter igen aftappet i 2015, efter mere end 21 år på fad, hvilket også fremgår på etiketten. Der er udgivet 444 flasker af denne aftapning. Whiskyen er ikke kølefiltreret, og kommer uden kunstig farve. It ran triple-distilled malt from the word go and alternated it with double distilled until the 1980s, ran trials with a wheat mash, was the first distillery to use gas-fired direct heating (all its stills are now steam-driven) and in its time also produced heavy peated variants [Glenisla] one made with peat smoke being passed through water which was then concentrated and the other in the normal manner. There were also trials with different yeast types. The fact that the stills were different shapes and sizes helped in these innovative trials. In was not until recently however, in 2006, that the first bottling of this extremely rare whisky became available courtesy of Signatory. Smooth and sumptuous, but with an added savoury depth now of allspice, then liquorice and bitter, dark chocolate. The fruit hints at a top-class crème de cassis from Dijon, and it builds into an indulgent slice of Jamaican ginger bread. Big. Delicious. Finish

Whoah Nelly! Tasting the two peated Capers last, it’s quite a shift after the sweet fruit-fest of the other malts in this range. Smouldering bonfire, then camphor and that coal tar soap my grandmother insisted on buying. The peat’s very much in charge here, but there are lingering scents of poached pear that come into sharper relief as the smoke blows off. There’s a herbal element that links with the smoke to create a hint of Lapsang. It’s distinctive, but not overpowering. Water douses the smoke into Plasticine, but brings out zesty orange. Palate Der er lidt mere power i alkoholen i paletten, og her kommer vand mere til sin ret end i næsen. Smagen af egetræ er også ret fremtrædende i smagen. Dette fortrænges dog hurtigt af fin frugtsødme, som fra modne ferskner. Der er lidt bid fra nogle stærke krydderier på tungen. Efter et par nip til whiskyen smages vanilje mere og mere tydeligt, og ex-bourbon fadet træder frem. Der kommer også mere smag af mælkechokolade. Noget som minder en lille smule om kokos kigger frem i paletten. Afslutning: Mouth-coating, almost oily, with rich mandarin before smoked meat builds through the mid-palate towards an explosive finish. The smoke is much less shy now, returning to bonfire-and-camphor country. Water flattens, rather than enhances, but brings added sweetness. Finish

Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival 20th Anniversary Edition Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival 2019 Der er en lang afslutning på drammen. Den er først præget af de stærke krydderier på tungen. Der er stadig en fin frugtsmag. Kombinationen minder lidt om den man kender fra umoden mangofrugt, der virker lidt tør, stærk og næsten bitter i sin fremtoning. Efter nogle minutter bliver smagen af vanilje, karamel og mælkechokoladen tydeligere. Ligeledes kommer smagen fra egetræ frem til sidst i eftersmagen, inden man til sidst sidder med lidt sødme tilbage i munden. Konklusion: Whiskybase B.V.

Braes of Glenlivet 30 Years Old

Meanwhile, there’s little to choose between a consistently excellent trio of malts from Glen Keith, and Longmorn’s exotic, hedonistic fruit character is very much to the fore, especially in a standout 23-year-old. The American market for blended Scotch whisky has always been very lucrative. It was with this in mind that Sam Bronfman of Seagram, a part of Chivas Brothers, planned the build of the Glen Keith distillery. Glen Keith was founded in 1957 and distillation began a year later. The most popular blends being sold in America at that time were of a light, easy drinking style and, accordingly, Glen Keith started producing triple distilled whiskies, not unheard of in Scotland, but perhaps so in Speyside. The resultant spirit was light and perfect for blends, hence it is a major constituent in the 100 Pipers blend, which is currently among the top ten bestselling blends in the world. During the 1970s, experimental Glenisla malt whisky was made at Glen Keith, destined primarily for use in the Chivas Brothers’ blends. Glenisla was made using both peated malt and peated water (the water was flavoured with smoke and then run through a still to concentrate this smokiness).
