The excellent and affordable whiskies from Munros are unique in that they're dumping small batches of two to four barrels. IN this case they've married a tiny lot of "dump hogsheads," which I believe refers to a dumpy or squat hogshead. this is a barrel composed of slightly shorter staves giving the barrel squat look and resulting typically in a higher oak to whisky ration (210-220 liters vs the standard 250). In any case, the resulting whisky is lovely extremely classic Keith. The color is pale gold. The nose is zesty and fresh, with hints of citrus peel, crystal malt, and fresh bitter herbs (hints of wormwood and orris). Great texture on the palate, with an almost buttery consistency, and now some more vanilla. The citrus fruit leans slightly toward grapefruit with some fresh stone and orchard fruit coming in as well. The finish brings back some of the tangy herbal quality, but refrains from feeling bitter - dried mint, anis, exotic spices and orange blossom honey. A truly lovely drinkable classic Keith for an outstanding price.

Notes

The lovely small batch bottlings in the "Munros" line up are selected by the small Glasgow Whisky Company and represent some of the best values in single malt scotch today. This small outfit has become an increasingly important player in the sale and bottling of small scale lots of high quality Scotch. The Munros line is a reference to Scotland's 282 mountains over 3000 feet. Explorers across the UK had long considered climbing each peak a rite of passage and likewise the great malts represent the heights of achievement in the eyes of whisky lovers across the world. This exceptional expression of the famous Speyside distillery, Glen Grant, was distilled entirely on July 26th, 1995. Filled into refill American oak ex-bourbon barrels, it's been allowed more than 22 years to mature in the cool climate of northern Scotland. Bottled on the 30th of October, 2017 without chill filtration, the addition of water or color whatsoever. The resulting whisky is one of the most honest and quintessential expressions of the classic Speyside style available. A cornucopia of dried fruit, sweet cereal, orchard fruit and creamy texture makes this the perfect whisky for any occasion. Thanks to incredible work securing these stocks and unbelievable prices, we're able to offer the Munros line-up significantly below market value. While this is an exclusive in California for K&L, you might see the same bottle in other markets fetching upwards of $200. This 24 year old was aged in "dump hogsheads".
