A great, but sadly neglected, Highlander, Blair Athol is one of the gems of the Flora & Fauna range. This expression has always tended towards the chunky, sherried style, with spices and oak adding complexity to rich maltiness.

Producer's Tasting Notes
-
Nose
Muscat grapes and maderised wine; a hint of over- the-top Sauternes. More than a whiff of brimstone in the background, even tar. Dried apricots in the foreground, and treacle toffee. Becomes more toffeed as it is exposed to the air. With water, a dense combination of sweet and rich scents, like a basket of dried fruit, with some fresh gooseberries, apricots and oranges, topped by Russian toffees. The winey notes have fallen back.
-
Palate
In brief… Interesting and unusual sweet aftertaste. in a sentence… A rich, sweet malt best drunk with only a drop of water, when it holds its sweetness better.
-
Finish
Very curiously, a sweetness is introduced at the end, after the acidity and dryish finish has passed.

I’m surprised at the rave reviews - it is a bit harsh for a 43% whisky - burns too much, and it lacks depth of flavour. It is only a 12 year old and for the price it’s about right, but if you like like this style of whisky I would pay a bit extra for the Ben Romach 15 yr old.

I was introduce to Blair Athol by a friend that visited The Highland Region, I love it instantly. How ever I was told by her that I was not be able to get it in US. I say no problem!!!!! I know where to get it. The Whiskey Exchange. Being a customer for over 12 years. The rest is History. I love the 1995 First Editions!!!!
