Lost In Time showcases a range of whiskies sourced from renowned Speyside distilleries such as The Glenlivet, Longmorn, Glentauchers, and Miltonduff. Bottled at the optimal stage of maturation, The Whisky Exchange takes pride in presenting a collection of exceptionally rare Speyside gems, crafted before the onset of the significant single malt boom in the early 2000s.
Billy Abbott, brand ambassador at TWE and a good friend : “From light and fruity to rich and creamy, each of these whiskies shine a light on what makes its distillery different and special. With drams here from long-running producers like The Glenlivet, celebrating its 200th anniversary this year, as well as more recently founded distilleries like Braeval, they all tell stories of flavour and time.”
this series indeed features some intriguing older drams, I am very excited to try (4 of which found their way to the holyland and to my tasting desk).
Glen Keith 1992 | 31 Year Old Cask 29851 Lost In Time Series | 47.5% | £768
This Glen Keith was aged in a first-fill American oak barrel…
Nose: On the nose, enjoy a delightful mix of tropical and fruity aromas, alongside a rich sweetness reminiscent of pear drops and candied citrus. These are complemented by subtle undertones of toffee, damp clay, and hessian.
Palate: Upon tasting, notes of puffed rice, grape skins, and candy apples greet the palate, culminating in a finish accented by subtle hints of roasted cereals, pink grapefruit pith and a lovely tropical note of lichee.
Finish: The finish is elegant, and light with the tropical fruit notes, and grapefruit going on for quite some time.
Conclusion: This expression is truly remarkable, boasting a delightful tropical fruit finish along with subtle notes of light fruit, grapes, and grapefruits. It’s an exceptional Glen Keith that delivers everything I anticipated, albeit at a premium price.
Score: 92/100
