There are times when the cask threatens to become too assertive, but it always steps back from the brink. This one was drawn from specially selected barrels and butts and bottled at 43% ABV, boasting oodles of orchard fruit notes alongside nutty malt and soft, herby elements. The bottlings from these years do not quite match the personality of those from the 60s and 70s but that is normal with almost all distilleries in Scotland.Here the natural sweetness of the distillate is counterbalanced by judicious cask influence and the complexity and depth that only time can bring.

As befits triple distillation fruit is at the fore in most of these 1960s Glen Keiths, lots of tropical fruits on top of metallic touches, paraffin, olive oil, gentle waxy notes, and some very nice minerality, like that of great old German Rieslings.

Triple distilling was now practiced alongside standard double distilling and the stills were all gas-fired, the first distillery to do so in Scotland. Glen Keith began production in 1960 and initially had a three still set up as it was designed for triple distillation, an unusual method for a Speyside distillery. We’re back in that hedgerow at first, then there’s freshly shaved ginger (minus the heat), followed by bolder wood-derived notes of cashew and almond. The stills were initially direct fired and the process was partially old style in execution, unlike most of the new boom era distilleries of the 50s/60s/70s that were usually kitted out with the latest equipment.

Amongst the various things tried out at Glen Keith was onsite Saladin malting that was used until 1976, homegrown yeast strains, wheat mashes, and, most intriguingly, whisky made from peated water.Quite delicate orchard fruit notes of russet apple and slightly overripe (faintly brown at the tip) pear.
