The first of two collaborations with superb independent bottlers Carn Mor, this single ex-Bourbon barrel was sourced from the great Glen Keith distillery and was produced around nine years before the distillery was moth-balled in 1999. This release is limited to 158 bottles only and was bottled at 46% ABV.
Our resident Scotch whisky buff Rich Bray had this to say, "Lovely light gold hue. Nose is honeycomb, beeswax and a hint of mint. There’s a bit of strawberry and white grape as well. Breakfast - honey, yoghurt and fruit. The palate is gentle - loads of that honey follows through, as does that fruit salad. Pleasingly grippy and long on the finish".

Recently Reborn
Constructed within view of Strathisla distillery in Keith, Banffshire, in 1957 by Chivas Brothers, Glen Keith served for many years as the experimental plant of Chivas’s parent company, Seagrams. Chivas also developed its own selective strains of yeasts there.
Until 1999, Glen Keith's output was mostly dedicated to the Chivas Brothers blends Chivas Regal, Passport and 100 Pipers. An official 10-year-old Glen Keith was released, but never established the standing of many of its Speyside competitors. Mothballed in 1999, the distillery was only reopened in 2013 by current owner Pernod Ricard (which also owns neighbouring Strathisla).
The Glen Keith style is typically light and grassy, however in early years of the distillery’s life two bolder peated malts – Craigduff and Glenisla – were produced. Bottlings of these were recently released by Signatory.
