Cask strength, non-chill filtered, natural color

The Happy Loner series consists of a set of four artworks created by @kt518.art. The series features the artist's little cat as the protagonist, celebrating the happiness and contentment of solitude in everyday life.

This third release, titled the “Purrfect Day”, captures the carefree spirit of our feline friend, who's too busy enjoying the sun and taking a purr-fect selfie at a busy beach to worry about what others think. To complement this artwork, we have selected a beautiful Glen Keith 25-years-old whisky, distilled in 1998 and matured in a 1st fill bourbon barrel. Rich and sweet, with notes of caramel fudge, butterscotch, hot pancake with syrup, melted butter and lots of fruits, this whisky is sure to put a smile on your face.

Nose: Classy and rather sweet, like our cat friend here. Starting with caramel fudge, butterscotch, hot pancake with syrup, melted butter, mikan orange, rosemary, milk chocolate.

Palate: Getting fruity, with ripe grapefruits, peaches, oranges, nectar, apricot jam.

Finish: Staying consistently elegant, the finish is medium in length; with spearmint, liquorice and grapefruits.

A super refreshing Glen Keith displaying typical bourbon barrel characters combined with a fruity distillate character. Splendid!

Built by Chivas Brothers in 1957—the first new Speyside distillery of the 20th century—Glen Keith sits across the road from Strathisla in the town of Keith. It served as Chivas’s innovation lab (first gas-fired stills, experimental peated malts Glenisla & Craigduff) before being mothballed in 1999 and fully rebuilt for a 2013 reopening. Today it can produce up to 6 million litres annually for Pernod Ricard, though most spirit still heads for blends such as Chivas Regal and 100 Pipers.    

Triple distillation gave way to double in the 1970s; six stills now create a soft, orchard-fruit new-make noted for vanilla and gentle malt sweetness. While official single-malt bottlings remain rare, Glen Keith’s supple, approachable style has made independent releases quietly coveted.
