Blair Athol 13 Tasting Notes
Nose: Jammy Bakewell tart and more than a sprinkle of dried fruits. The distinct distillery character delivers floral notes, nuttiness and gentle herbal aromas. Oak adds an intriguing dimension of Dolly Mixture sweets. This whisky will keep your olfactory sense occupied for quite some time…
Palate: Jammy notes mix delightfully with the dried fruits provided by the sherry cask. The distillery character has plenty of space to deliver ripe stone fruits, floral notes and a nutty spiciness. A touch of cedar wood, Dolly Mixture sweets and spices add to this delicious, well-structured dram.
Finish: A medium to long finish delivers a juicy, luxurious ending with a touch more spice to entice you back for more.
