Tasting Notes

Colour

full gold

air Nose

starts all on sweet and sour fruits as well as quite some flints and coal smoke, which is unusual with Blair Athol in my experience. Must come from the wood. It’s also a tad butyric at times but other than that, the very malty profile is much enjoyable. Also whiffs of patchouli and orange blossom, flor (yellow wine), maybe honeysuckle. With water: doesn’t change much. Maybe a little more leather

restaurant Palate

punchy butter cream, vanilla and snuff tobacco, how unusual! It’s a little prickly and fizzy (Schweppes?), quite waxy, with also notes of stewed oranges and litres of corn syrup. Some walnuts as well… As if it was a 50/50 vatting of first fill bourbon and fino sherry – or something like that. What’s sure is that it’s unlike any other malts, including other Blair Athols. With water: becomes kind of cleaner but there’s also more ginger from the oak as well as touches of cloves and pepper. Swims well

timer Finish

long, sweet and spicy, with some Seville oranges and pepper
