- Description
- Blair Athol's 2010 distillate matured 12 years beginning in refill barrel before concluding in first-fill bourbon wood, a progression that balances oak influence across the maturation period. Highland single malts from this distillery typically express cereal grain sweetness, light orchard fruit, and vanilla notes, with first-fill bourbon cask contributing toasted oak and spice character. The texture is warm and medium-bodied, with a finish that extends the spice and grain. Ideal for those exploring classic Highland profile with modern cask-management techniques.
