This 26-year-old Glen Keith, matured in a single refill American hogshead, showcases the distillery’s soft, fruity character at remarkable maturity. Bottled at cask strength, it presents refined layers of ripe citrus, honeyed malt, vanilla and polished oak. The long ageing delivers complexity without overpowering the spirit, resulting in a graceful, well-balanced Speyside malt. Natural colour and un-chillfiltered, it is a testament to Gordon & MacPhail’s heritage in nurturing spirit over decades.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Natural golden amber with a warm, honeyed glow.
Nose
Soft, fruit-forward nose with ripe citrus, honeyed malt and vanilla, lifted by polished oak. A refined warmth from the cask and a hint of age depth emerge gracefully, delivering mature Speyside elegance that is balanced, inviting and never overpowering.
Palate
Softly fruity and fragrant on the palate, it reveals ripe citrus zest, honeyed malt and vanilla that mingle with polished oak. The cask-strength warmth provides a creamy mouthfeel, with subtle spice and layering complexity from years in wood. A graceful, well-balanced Speyside profile where sweetness and oak linger into a long, elegant finish.
Finish
Long, refined finish that lingers with bright citrus and honeyed malt, unfurling into vanilla and polished oak. A graceful cask-strength warmth holds as a subtle undercurrent, delivering a softly-spiced, well-balanced echo of Speyside, gradually fading to a subtly fruity, oak-touched glow.
