- Description
- Blair Athol matured for seven years before finishing in a Murça Tawny Port cask, which introduces caramel sweetness and oxidative complexity to the Highland malt's orchard and spice foundation. The tawny Port finish adds warm, dried-fruit depth without overwhelming the distillery's character. Bottled in 2023 by Murray McDavid, this suits those seeking Highland whisky with Portuguese cask complexity.
