Glen Keith 25 years Special Aged Release – Batch No GK/004

The Glen Keith 25 years Special Aged Release is a refined Speyside single malt, tailor-made for those who appreciate tropical richness and silky elegance. Bottled in September 2021 as batch GK/004, it was fully matured in first fill American oak barrels. The result is a beautifully balanced whisky that delivers fruity sweetness, mellow oak, and floral charm in perfect harmony.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Delicate notes of peach, vanilla custard, and fresh pineapple. Behind that: honey, blossom, and a hint of almond. Gentle oak adds a layer of depth.

Palate

Creamy and smooth. Tropical fruits like mango and papaya, vanilla, a touch of cinnamon, and toasted coconut. The first fill oak influence offers a warm, rounded structure.

Finish

Long and elegant, with hints of white chocolate, citrus peel, and a soft spicy undertone. Sophisticated and layered to the very last drop.

Glen Keith Distillery

Glen Keith Distillery is located in the heart of the Speyside region, near the town of Keith in Moray. Founded in 1957 by the firm Chivas Brothers, Glen Keith has relatively modern origins compared to most other Scottish distilleries. The distillery was originally built to experiment with new production methods and innovations within the whisky industry.

A unique feature of Glen Keith is the use of water from nearby Balloch Hill, which contributes to the purity and freshness of their whiskies. Glen Keith whiskies are known for their light, fruity and floral flavour profiles, with notes of citrus, green apple, pear and a subtle hint of spice. The distillery uses traditional copper pot stills and a slow distillation process, ensuring a balanced and refined spirit.

The whiskies are mainly matured in ex-bourbon casks, which ensures a soft and smooth flavour. Although Glen Keith mainly produces for blends, such as Chivas Regal, their single malts are also loved by connoisseurs. The combination of modern techniques, a beautiful location and high-quality production makes Glen Keith a respected name in the world of Scotch whisky.
