Two Keys Whisky is a blend produced by Edward Snell & Co. (South Africa) and distributed in several African markets. The 1 L variant is part of its core lineup. The blend includes Scotch malt and South African whiskies (reportedly up to 14 different malts plus grain components) to create an accessible yet flavorful style. It is bottled at 43% ABV.
Tasting Notes:
-
Appearance: Warm amber with golden tones, clear and bright.
-
Aroma: Toasted oak, malt, light caramel, and sweet vanilla. A noticeable but balanced spirit edge.
-
Palate: Medium-bodied; oak tannin, dried fruits, toffee, and subtle grain or cereal character.
-
Finish: Warming and lingering; the sweetness recedes to oak and light spice, leaving a clean spirit impression.
-
ABV: 43%
Serving Suggestions:
Serve neat or on a large ice cube to moderate its strength while preserving its core character. It also performs well in blended drinks; try it with soda water, cola, or in classic whisky cocktails that accept a bold, flavorful base (e.g. whisky sour, highball). If you like, I can compare it to other South African blends at similar price points.
