Distilled at Blair Athol in 2011, this single malt spent 12 years maturing, including a finish in a Pedro Ximénez sherry hogshead. The cask was opened by Berry Bros. & Rudd, releasing a total of 266 bottles for its Glens & Valleys collection.
On the nose, stewed plums and ripe figs emerge, accompanied by a hint of polished oak and warming spices.
The palate unravels with layers of dark chocolate, raisins, and a subtle hint of mint, all beautifully integrated with Blair Athol's distinctive malty core.
The finish is long and luxuriant, leaving a lingering sweetness reminiscent of a treacle tart cooling on a windowsill, with a concluding whisper of orange zest and clove.
