A Flora and Fauna release from the Blair Athol distillery, this 12 year old exudes sherry and Christmas pudding notes with spice. Blair Athol does not receive the acclaim it so thoroughly deserves.
Nutty with sherried notes. Gentle oak char. Crisp.
Good body, malty and sweet. Citrus and the peels thereof.
Toasty oak, syrup. Good sweetness, bittersweet, drying.
A lovely jammy whisky that considering that is a bargain considering it spends all it’s life maturing in sherry casks. You don’t get these types if whiskies these days for this price Superb?
A very enjoyable dram, will certainly be buying this one again.
One of my all-time favourites. A beautiful drop with so much lovely character. One worth returning to again and again. And again.
Buttery smooth and just the right amount of dark sweetness, has a bit of a leathery vibe and is rich and deep, amazing after taste and warming burn ..I'm already planning another bottle, seems expensive but worth every penny
For me a fairly average malt, pleasant but with no 'wow factor'. Nose; soft sherry, toffee, vanilla fudge. Palate; sweet but with a new wood bitterness, homogeneous fruit. Finish; mild tannin, lingering sweetness, lemon ice tea. A good introduction whisky, but one which is too one dimensional to revisit often.
