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.
Great stuff. Well balanced with nothing dominating or sitting back. Good sherry character but never too heavy. Complex enough for the discerning drinker yet accessible to all. Wouldn't mind a slightly higher abv but it's still very good and highly recommended so that shouldn't put you off. A very whisky-like whisky if that makes sense!
This is an exceptional whisky, forget about how cheap it is, this is hands down the best whisky I have ever had. The complexity of flavour is incredible and that finish, WOW!
I am partial to Irish whiskeys such as Green/Yellow spot and Redbreast. This whisky is on a par, but less sweet, which is actually a good thing. It is very interesting and absolutely gorgeous following a spicy meal. For the price it is superb. Do not hesitate to buy.
Just a yummy, sweet, warm, taste sensation. Loved every dram. Delicious one of my Faves.
Liquid gold with caramel, toffee, and malt on the tongue. I also found no trace of smoke, which pleased me too. Great for before or after dinner.
