Is this a good drink? Is the national animal of Scotland a unicorn? The answers are hell no and amazingly yes. Okay, it's not terrible, but the only thing sadder than a mothballed distillery is a mothballed distillery that came back to life for little purpose. I see the 21 year wasn't outstanding either. Think Chivas Regal, of which this is a component, and you've summed up this one's character. Weak, flaccid, and not much going on. Still, like a blend, it's not offensive, no burn or imbalance. 3...barely.

About this bottle
Glen Keith, established during the post-war whisky surge, is seldom encountered as a single malt, with most of its output destined for blends like Chivas Regal. The Glen Keith Distillery Edition, however, is an exception, matured in American oak casks. This bottling has no stated age and is presented at 40% ABV.

Nose: light fruits, floral, citrus zest Palate: orange, light pepper Finish: very light wood, salted caramel A decent dram, even if a bit uninspiring. I had this while on vacation in Scotland and purchased a bottle because I hadn't encountered it before.
Initially a bit sweet and sharp, but a very drinkable whiskey. A less expensive, though less complex, version of a Macallan.
Features crisp apple and toffee notes – very sweet and smooth.
Pleasant, not smoky at all.
