Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a warm, honeyed bronze glow.

Nose

Marsala-rich nose of ripe apricot, fig and raisin, layered with almond, hazelnut and honey. Subtle orange zest, vanilla and spice drift over warm oak, delivering a nutty, dessert-wine sweetness. The Highland backbone lends poise to a lush, syrupy aroma.

Palate

Opulent, full-bodied palate with Marsala-sweet richness: raisin, fig, roasted almond and hazelnut, coaxed by caramel and toffee, with a touch of orange zest. Creamy, velvety mouthfeel from cask-strength and oak-spice that lingers into a long, warming finish.

Finish

Marsala-cask finish delivers a long, luscious procession of dried fig, raisin and orange zest, balanced by toasted almond and toffee. Warm spice and oak weave through the sweetness, leaving a nutty, slightly savory echo that lingers with refined warmth.

Blair Athol
(blair-ATH-oll) Blair Athol was founded in 1798 by John Stewart and Robert Robertson in Pitlochry, originally opening as Aldour after the Allt Dour burn. The early distillery closed soon after, before reopening in 1825 under the Blair Athol name. It later passed through several owners, including Peter Mackenzie, before Arthur Bell & Sons acquired the distillery in 1933.
