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.
This was a very pleasant surprise. It is a nice whisky going in but the after taste just grows and grows making it an exceptional whisky.
Finest whisky I've ever tasted in 55 years of trying all kinds! Must only be drunk with highland spring water.
100% quality, great taste 100% value
I bought a bottle of this for a tasting session last Christmas, and thought it was a really, really top notch dram. Highly recommended. Sweet and mild, not overwhelming at all. A very easy whisky to drink.
I opened my bottle of this on the occasion for the birth of my granddaughter recently. It was an excellent choice. Very smooth easy to drink. I confess I had a difficult time with getting the nose on it. I definitely did not pick up any peatiness. The finish was smooth and lingered but not for too long. This is a whisky I could enjoy again and again. Sadly like one of the other reviewer‘s I to live in the states and my access to UK exclusive whiskies has been curtailed because of Covid
