Glen Keith 18 yo 1991 (46%, Sestante Collection, +/-2010)
Colour: gold.
Nose: it’s a rather grassy and flinty Glen Keith, well in the style of some other rather fairly recent middle-aged versions by other bottlers. It’s also delicately floral, with whiffs of dandelions and buttercups, then touches of vanilla and mild honey and finally a light earthiness, with notes of leaves, moss. It’s very elegant malt.
Mouth: a very oily, almost creamy mouth feel, it’s almost like liquid honey. Bags of fruits, all dried, such as sultanas and figs. Date liqueur, baklavas, old style (orange liqueur). Balance is perfect, all is extremely elegant.
Finish: medium long, still extremely elegant. Bananas and pineapples with just touches of cloves and pepper in the aftertaste.
