Decadent Drinks just lately offered this Glen Keith multi-vintage single malt within the WhiskySponge collection. It’s a mixture of a 1991 refill barrel (softer, with extra wooden affect) and a 1993 refill hogshead (extra tropical and recent).
Glen Keith 28 yo 1991 + 1993 (51,9%, WhiskySponge 2022, refill barrel + refill hogshead, 314 btl.)
Nostril: very wealthy and fruity, displaying mashy bananas, nectarines, tinned pineapple and maybe some papaya. Hints of buttercups and honeysuckle. Mild whiffs of sunflower oil. It’s usually creamy and waxy, with hints of rice pudding and cake. Simple to love.
Mouth: much more tropical now, with a candy and virtually syrupy theme. Cooked pineapples, mango, papaya, blended with beneficiant hints of beeswax and honey. A bit orange liqueur. Then delicate oak spice (candied ginger, cinnamon) and a refined leafy / zesty be aware. Nonetheless some vegetal oils and polish within the background.
End: lengthy, barely extra mundane now, with bready notes and a chalky contact because the fruits fade away.
A beautiful profile, one which appears to turn into uncommon as of late. Moreover these heat and waxy fruity notes are simply fantastic. It’s not precisely low cost in fact, however I suppose it provides good worth for cash in as we speak’s whisky market. Nonetheless out there from Decadent Drinks. Rating: 91/100
