Blair Athol Berry Bros & Rudd The Auld And The Bold Single Cask #308064 Whisky 14 Year Old · 2011 Vintage
In stock
Blair Athol sits just south of Pitlochry, nestled in Perthshire's picturesque Vale of Athol, often described as the "gateway to the Highlands." Known for its rich, nutty, and malty character, Blair Athol is equally admired for the leafy veil of ivy draping the distillery’s historic walls, changing dramatically in colour as the seasons unfold.
Golden hued and arresting, this unusual Viognier finish brings a curious twist to Blair Athol's robust core. The nose opens with tropical fruit salad, alongside honeyed brioche and teasing whisp of soft cheese rind. On the palate, coconut cream and apricot mingle with barley sugar and a cooling trace of mint, all wrapped up in a sumptuous, waxy texture. A gentle undercurrent of toasted oak and lemon curd carries through the finish, with echoes of candied ginger, and a distant floral lift.
