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.
Sherry AND nice!!
I had actually always hated scotch, then we tried Blair Athol Flora and Fauna at the distillery while in Scotland, and I was converted! It is phenomenal! I wish it were available somewhere closer to me.
One of my favorites
Sweet, malty, good body. Great mouth feel. Can't be beat for twice the price. I found no smokieness whatever, which I very much prefer.
Both my partner and I were most pleasantly surprised by this malt whisky: beautifully balanced, drinkable and smooth. I'd compare it to Dalwhinnie or Oban for smoothness and drinkability. A pleasure and delight.
