Blair Athol Rare Malts Selection Single Malt Scotch Whisky 27 Year Old · 1975 Vintage
Out of stock
A Blair Athol single malt released as part of the Rare Malts Selection, this 27 year old was distilled in 1975 and bottled in 2003 at a natural cask strength of 54.7% ABV after long maturation in oak.
The Rare Malts series was created to showcase distilleries in a more powerful, unfiltered style than standard bottlings, often revealing a richer side of the spirit. Extended ageing brings depth to Blair Athol’s characteristically robust Highland profile, where malt richness, gentle spice and dried fruit notes are supported by mature oak and a full, rounded texture.

Tasting Notes
Colour
A rich, deep amber glow with copper-gold highlights and a subtle mahogany edge.
Nose
Sherry-kissed and richly malty, the nose unfolds with dried fruits—raisins, figs, apricots—interwoven with toffee, vanilla and dark cocoa. Spiced oak, cedar and a whisper of leather rise from polished oak, while a warm malt sweetness lingers. The aroma hints at decades in cask: full, textured, and deeply reassuring, with an unmistakable Highland elegance at its core.
Palate
Powerful yet refined, the palate delivers dried fig and raisin over rich malt, with gentle spice threading through. Mature oak cushions a velvety, full-bodied texture, opening to a warm, sherry-influenced sweetness that lingers with oak-driven depth.
Finish
Long, luxurious finish of warm oak and dried fruits, with gentle spice and a subtle sherry sweetness. Creamy malt lingers, tapering to a toasted-nut edge and a soft, warming glow that invites another sip.
