Archives Glen Keith Barrel #166297 is a single malt Scotch whisky from Speyside, bottled from a single cask at 52.2% ABV. The label indicates a 1994 vintage, 31 years of age, and maturation in a first-fill bourbon barrel, pointing to a whisky shaped by long ageing and oak influence.
For a novice drinker, this style often suggests a mature whisky with layered complexity rather than heavy smoke. First-fill bourbon casks are widely associated with notes such as vanilla, oak, and soft fruit, while extended ageing can add polish and depth.
