Rather than relying on wine or sherry finishes, this release demonstrates just how expressive classic bourbon maturation can be when paired with a robust distillate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced by Blair Athol Distillery, the spirit is renowned for its rich mouthfeel and malty character, making it an excellent partner for bourbon oak. The result is a whisky that feels indulgent yet beautifully balanced, with creamy sweetness supported by gentle spice and fresh fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nose opens with buttery shortbread drizzled in golden syrup, followed by warm apple turnovers and crumbled cashew nuts. Split vanilla pods and a gentle dusting of white pepper provide additional depth, creating an inviting and complex aroma. On the palate, the whisky is thick, syrupy, and wonderfully mouthcoating, delivering baked apples, flaky pastry, and a squeeze of tart lemon that lifts the sweeter notes. As it develops, iced buns, orchard turnovers, and creamy vanilla create a distinctly pâtisserie-inspired character that is both rich and elegant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finish lingers with brown sugar-coated baked apples, soft vanilla, and refined oak spice, leaving a satisfying balance of sweetness and warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottled at cask strength (56.1% ABV), with natural colour and without chill filtration, this whisky delivers impressive concentration while maintaining excellent drinkability. With an outturn of just 205 bottles, and the added distinction of a Gold Medal at the World Spirits Competition, it is a superb example of well-executed bourbon cask maturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA rich and comforting Highland malt - packed with pastry, orchard fruit, and creamy vanilla, all wrapped in classic first fill bourbon oak.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gleann Mór","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57311933530487,"sku":"GLM-BAT-12-561","price":69.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0428\/1722\/4864\/files\/gleann-mor-rare-find-blair-athol-12-year-old-1.png?v=1784473528","url":"https:\/\/topwhiskies.com\/products\/gleann-mor-rare-find-blair-athol-12-year-old","provider":"TopWhiskies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
