I think this is my first ever version where the "before 1983" is actually printed on the label. Usually Glen Keith was bottled as a 10yo at the distillery. The next 10yo will at soonest be out in 2023. The color is golden. It smells heather, palm oil, walnut shield, rye bread, molasses, sweet licorice, toasted almonds, sage. The taste is rather perfumed, strong vanilla, lavender, ginger, sawdust, chili oil, root beer, sweet and perfumy, not my kind of malt unfortunately. But there are no real flaws. Some strawberry and exotic fruits in the finish lifts it a bit. Also a nice licorice and peppery sensation that overlaps in the end. This is probably one of the last remaining "lost distillery" ob-bottlings still available both readily and affordable. Catch one while you can. I have a couple more, to use as reference points when going head to head in 2023 and beyond.
Ah, the old times: 6
Next tasting: Agder Brenneri (Norwegian Single Malt Whisky)
