Glen Keith Secret Speyside Special Aged Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky 28 Year Old · 1992 Vintage

Glen Keith 1992 28 Year Old Secret Speyside Special Aged Release is a mature Speyside single malt Scotch whisky showcasing the elegant, fruit-led character of Glen Keith Distillery. Distilled in 1992 and bottled in 2020 after 28 years of maturation, this limited release forms part of the Secret Speyside Collection, a range created to highlight distinctive whiskies from some of the region’s lesser-known distilleries.

Glen Keith is known for producing a light, refined and exceptionally smooth style of single malt. The distillery’s tall copper pot stills encourage greater interaction between the spirit and copper during distillation, helping to create a clean and delicate new make spirit with abundant orchard fruit and soft floral character. Extended ageing has allowed those qualities to develop into layers of ripe stone fruit, creamy sweetness, gentle spice and polished oak.

The nose opens with sweet peach and ripe apricot, followed by cinnamon spice and lightly toasted oak. On the palate, juicy orange and smooth vanilla fudge are joined by soft caramel, honeyed malt and warming gingerbread spice. The texture remains elegant and rounded, balancing mature oak with Glen Keith’s naturally bright fruit character.

The finish is long, smooth and gently warming, with lingering honey, vanilla, sweet citrus and seasoned oak. Despite its considerable age, the whisky retains an appealing freshness, allowing the fruit and sweetness to remain clearly defined alongside the influence of nearly three decades in cask.

Bottled at 43% ABV in a 70cl bottle and presented in its original premium packaging, Glen Keith 1992 28 Year Old is an excellent choice for collectors of vintage Speyside whisky and drinkers seeking a refined, mature single malt. It is best enjoyed neat and given time to open in the glass, allowing its layers of peach, apricot, vanilla and spice to develop fully.
