Notes
This Blair Athol was initially matured in a Hogshead and then finished in an ex Tokaji Gonchi, before being bottled in 2022 as part of its Winter releases.
Producers note: Rich, sweet and chewy aromas rise from the
glass, offering apricot, figs, almonds and zingy
marmalade. This dram takes a little time to open
up, but some air brings forth some ripe green
apples and a little cinnamon. The palate is thick
and full, giving more jammy apricot notes and
some dried fruit, but with clear distillate character
coming through in the form of stewed apples and
pears. A long, mouth-coating finish shows baking
spice and oak. This is a big, full, warming whisky.

Bacon straight away, but that then fades and gives way to warm bonfire, sweet tobacco and just a note of rubber. With more time in the glass treacle, cereal and pleasant soapiness. The palate is lead by sweet fruit and honey, then peppery heat, and an oily, woodsmoke finish. A complex and evolving whisky.
