The Blair Athol Distillery is located near Pitlochry in the Highlands of Scotland. Blair Athol was originally the estate village of the picturesque Blair Castle, at whose gates the distillery now stands. The distillery was licensed in 1825, on the site of an older distillery, and was purchased by Arthur Bell and Sons in 1933. Since then the distillery was purchased by the Guinness Group in 1985. Running 4 stills, the distillery produces approximately 2,300,000 litres annually.
Scotch Whisky is known the world-over by the Brand names of large blending companies. These blends are the mixture of the products of various distilleries which were originally independent family owned units. Until the middle of the 20th century there were many small firms that bottled and sold the pure product of the local distilleries. Since Victorian times the firm of William Cadenhead has provided this service.However a diminution of public interest caused the small bottling companies to close down. Only a small handful of distilleries still remain in the ownership of their founding families and even fewer of the bottling companies remain active, William Cadenhead is one of the notable survivors.
This independent bottle by Cadenhead has been initially matured in ex Bourbon oak and then finished in Oloroso Sherry casks for around 12 months. Matured for 14 years and no less and bottled at 46% Alc/Vol. There’s been no chill-filtration and no added colouring.
Our Tasting Notes
Nose: Bold Sherry notes at first open to berry jam and Cherry Ripe aromas. Hints of candied ginger and soft caramel with toasted hazelnuts and black pepper.
Palate: It sits quite sharp at the start, raspberries, cherries, red currants with some hazelnut and allspice. Soft aromas of cinnamon and milk chocolate and orange peel start to appear.
Finish: Medium to long with malted barley, caramel, walnuts and digestive biscuits.
