- Description
- Blair Athol's 2011 distillate matured for eight years in a single ex-bourbon barrel before being bottled at 58.3% ABV, yielding just 302 bottles from The Single Cask. Highland character remains restrained and elegant, allowing the bourbon cask's vanilla and oak to frame rather than dominate. The higher strength reveals more structure and grip without masking the spirit's inherent lightness. Best enjoyed neat or with a touch of water by single-cask enthusiasts.
