Glen Keith – 30 Year Old 1985 Single Casks #12299-12302 (70cl)

This is a 30 year old Glen Keith single malt from Speyside, distilled in 1985 and bottled in 2015. It was filled from two casks, and 389 bottles were produced in the 70cl size. Glen Keith was built by Seagram in the late 1950s and supplied malt for the Chivas, Passport and 100 Pipers blends until it was mothballed in 1999. It returned to production in 2013 under Pernod Ricard. The nose is honeyed and fruity-sweet, with marzipan, almond and pine. On the palate come orange liqueur and dried ginger with a spicy lift, and the finish brings fruity tannins.
