Blair Athol Berry Bros & Rudd - Single Cask #307583 Whisky 12 Year Old · 2009 Vintage
In stock
This punchy dram from Blair Athol was matured full term in an ex-Californian red wine barrique for 12 years. Only 234 bottles were produced from this outrun.
The nose is initially dominated by warm baking spices, however time in the glass brings out Blair Athol’s trademark stewed apple notes. On the palate high alcohol and spicy oak integrate beautifully to form an attacking character that demands attention - make no mistake though, this whisky shows complexity and subtlety, but it requires a little water to bring out the light apple and pear notes, and perhaps a little grilled lime and wood polish. Very powerful, but worth wresting into submission.
Product Details
Tasting Notes
Colour
Very deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a subtle ruby edge, wine-kissed and inviting.
Nose
Warm baking spices open the nose, and with air Blair Athol’s hallmark stewed-apple notes unfold, offering orchard sweetness tempered by time in the glass.
Palate
On the palate, high alcohol and spicy oak intertwine to deliver an attacking, muscular profile that demands attention. It carries bold warmth with underlying complexity, and with a splash of water the light apple and pear notes emerge, along with hints of grilled lime and wood polish.
Finish
Long, warming and remarkably persistent, the finish unfurls with baking-spice and red-wine oak, leaving dark fruit to linger. As the heat fades, citrus zest, grilled lime, and a whisper of apple and pear emerge, with a final touch of wood polish and polished oak.
