Glen Keith 1993 27 Year Old 'Gordon & Macphail' Connoisseurs Choice Whisky 700ml

Distillery: Glen Keith Distillery — a Speyside single-malt maker. This is a long-aged independent single-cask bottling — not a standard distillery release — giving it rarity and an interesting maturation story: decades in oak, in a refill hogshead, which suggests a more subtle, evolved oak influence rather than a heavy sherry or new wood flavour.

Nose: Soft fruitiness — think gentle orchard fruits: pears, apples, maybe a hint of green or lightly baked fruits.

Palate: Light fruit notes — perhaps citrus-tinged or orchard-fruit (as opposed to heavy tropical or candied fruit), giving a fresh, easygoing feel.

Finish: Smooth, gentle finish, not overly aggressive or smoky — more on the lines of mellow oak, soft malt, lingering sweetness or honey-vanilla echoes.
