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.
Sweet and smooth with subtle peat, this 12 year old punches way over its age. Blair Athol has become my go to 12 year old and is it a great way to introduce friends to Scotch Whisky, without breaking the bank. I am a GlenDronach man, given my druthers, but for the daily finger or two, BA is in the front of the cabinet!
just try it
The subtle peat, dry orange notes with gentle sherry notes makes this whisky a great one. The finish is a tad short to my liking but a great whisky for a 12 year old. Fine and smooth. This will make it for the evening when you are in no hurry and want to spend a good 2 hrs with a malt as a companion. Dont rush through.
Outstanding! Extremely smooth malt. I'm annoyed I only bought one bottle.
Great malt
