About the whisky:

Blair Athol sits just south of Pitlochry, nestled in Perthshire's
picturesque Vale of Athol, often described as the "gateway to the
Highlands."

Known for its rich, nutty, and malty character, Blair
Athol is equally admired for the leafy veil of ivy draping the
distillery’s historic walls, changing dramatically in colour as the
seasons unfold.

Tasting Notes:

The nose opens with powerful Pedro Ximenez intensity, immediately
enveloping the senses with dark fruits, raisins, and toasted nuts. Figs
and dates meld with a vibrant note of raspberry, underpinned by a
delicate hint of liquorice and gentle herbal tones.

On the palate, a pleasing tannic character complements the rich wave of dark fruits
and worn leather, offering a chewy, sticky - sweet syrup quality.

The experience deepens with chocolate - covered raisins and a warm,
satisfying finish that lingers with a touch of earthiness and sweet
spice.
