Blair Athol distillery sits in the picturesque town of Pitlochry right in the middle of the Highlands of Scotland. An old distillery, it produces a classic highland style which is heavy in body, and nutty and spicy in flavour. This Blair Athol was filled from a butt which previously contained Olorosso Sherry and after such a long maturation is very full and rich.
Nose: Fruity and herbal, with stewed prunes, black tea, and caramel.
Palate: Pleasantly spicy with nutmeg, ginger and cocoa powder.
Finish: Long with all the complexity in a dram matured for a quarter of a century.
