Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich golden amber with coppery highlights and a deep mahogany edge.
Nose
Glen Keith's hallmark orchard brightness opens the nose, honeyed pear and crisp apple, interwoven with warm vanilla and subtle toffee. Depth arrives as waxy oak and polished sherry lift the perfume, bringing dried fruit, fig and raisin, mingled with spiced notes of cinnamon and nutmeg. A faint citrus zest spark lends a fresh lift, while a whisper of almond and cocoa completes the aromatic tapestry.
Palate
Silky and sherried, the palate reveals dark fruit richness—raisin, fig and plum—held in a creamy vanilla-toffee base. Cocoa, toasted almond and warm spice drift through supple oak, delivering a long, velvety finish with chocolatey depth and refined wood spice.
Finish
Silky, long finish enriched by sherry cask influence: dark fruit sweetness, figs and raisins, bright citrus zest, and toasted oak. Gentle spice and cocoa notes linger, fading into a warm, refined afterglow.
