Blair Athol 'Old Malt Cask' 1995/25yo 700mL
Blair Athol Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky is produced at their distillery located in the picturesque Pitlochry. The distillery was founded in 1778 and renamed Blair Athol in 1825. Mostly used in Bell's blended Scotch Whisky, Blair Athol has had very few releases, mostly by independent bottlers. The typically sweet characteristics of Blair Athol Single Malt come from being mostly matured in sherry casks.
Filled in 1995 into a sherry butt before 25 long years of maturation, this Blair Athol was specially selected by Hunter Laing & Co. for their Old Malt Cask range. Blair Athol is typically weighty and rich, and this is no exception - stewed and dried fruits mingle with black tea and caramel, moving to nutmeg, ginger and lashings of bitter-sweet cocoa powder to finish.
