Two Glen Keith 1992, maybe only one |
Just like Longmorns, there are quite a few Glen Keith 1992 around. They're usually good, I must ay. Let's have three of them. |
|
Glen Keith 20 yo 1992/2013 (51.8%, Pure Spirit, bourbon barrel)  Colour: gold. Nose: smells 'modern', pleasantly so. It's very rounded, we're more or less on some excellent orange cake with a good layer of sweet vanilla, acacia honey and millionaire shortbread. Or is that a Mars bar? As long as you don't deep-fry them... ;-). Also tarte tatin, caramelised apples... With water: all kinds of apples in all their forms. Cider, cakes, pies, juices and, well, not quite calvados. Mouth (neat): sweet yet nervous, with more citrus and white pepper from the oak. It's a rather vigorous one but there's also this sweet, candied side. muscovado sugar and more pepper. With water: very nice spices, light caramel, white pepper and more apples. Maybe touches of tinned pineapples. Finish: pretty long, fruity, fresh, with the oak working as a condiment, in a way. Peppercorns in the aftertaste. Comments: all much to my liking, this one has some character and presence. The fruitiness and the spicy oak work in tandem. SGP:641 - 87 points. |

Glen Keith 20 yo 1992/2013 (51.8%, Whisky-Fässle, bourbon barrel) Colour: gold. Nose: almost undistinguishable, but the strengths being the same, this could well be the same cask. With water: same. Mouth (neat): very sameish. With water: very very sameish. Finish: as I said... Comments: probably a shared cask. This is Europe, my friend! ;-) SGP:641 - 87 points.
