Glen Keith Connoisseurs Choice Single Malt Scotch Whisky 17 Year Old · 1996 Vintage

Colour

Radiant amber with copper-gold highlights, leaning toward a warm mahogany edge.

Nose

An inviting, honeyed nose of orchard fruit and creamy vanilla, edged with delicate oak. Subtle sherry influence adds dried fig and raisin, a hint of cocoa, and bright orange zest, while cinnamon and clove offer a gentle spice. Alluringly poised, it promises elegance and a warm, fruit-forward sweetness.

Palate

Silky and medium-full, the palate bears sherried richness with a warm, resinous backbone. Dried fig and raisin mingle with orange zest, toasted almond, and dark chocolate, while espresso nuances weave through. Spice, cinnamon and nutmeg rise amid polished oak, finishing long with lingering fruitcake sweetness and a final mocha note.

Finish

Silky and enduring, the finish unfurls with sherry-fruited sweetness that coats the palate. Dried plum, fig and orange zest mingle with dark chocolate and toasted oak, then give way to a warm spice echo—cinnamon and ginger—before a refined, lingering velvet fade.
