Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with mahogany hues and a coppery glow.
Nose
Opulent Oloroso lift with dark dried fruit: prune, fig and sultana, framed by orange zest, burnt sugar and vanilla. Walnut and almond mingle with cocoa, toffee and spice, as toasted oak and a subtle tobacco echo the cask depth. Rich, inviting and warming.
Palate
Luxuriously velvety and deeply sherried, this Blair Athol coats the palate with dark fruit and toasted nut. Figs, raisins and dates mingle with dried apricot, chocolate and caramel, framed by spice and whispering oak. A suave grip of orange zest and cinnamon lingers into a warm, long finish.
Finish
Long, luxurious finish infused with Oloroso sherry. Dried fig and raisin mingle with dark chocolate, toasted almond and spice. Velvet and warming, it fades slowly to a nutty, oak-kissed echo, leaving refined sherry sweetness that lingers.
