- Description
- 25 years in the cask, Blair Athol gives you more than just a number. At 49.3% ABV, it's a bit bold yet that 'Leathery' note could intrigue. £164.15 for something tagged 'Old Wood' and 'Mossy' might make you scratch your head. One rating suggesting it's average, or maybe just misunderstood.
