Tasting Notes
Nose: Warm vanilla pod, fresh coconut, ripe orchard fruit — baked apple, poached pear, apricot jam. Blair Athol's signature honeyed richness comes through, underpinned by toasted almond and a light dusting of cinnamon.
Palate: Full-bodied and warming. Vanilla cream, butterscotch, and sweet toasted oak arrive first, followed by honeyed malt, dried tropical fruit, dark toffee, and white pepper. Rich, slightly oily texture.
Finish: Long and warming, sweetness giving way to dry oak spice, lingering vanilla, and subtle woodsmoke.
About Blair Athol
Founded in 1798 near Pitlochry, Blair Athol is one of the Highlands' oldest working distilleries. Its slow fermentation and worm tub condensers produce a spirit that is unmistakably Highland — rich, rounded, and generously characterful. Single cask releases are rare, making this a genuine opportunity for collectors.
