Blair Athol 13-year-old (D.2008, B. 2021) Rum Quarter Cask Finish, The Single Cask / 56.3%/ 0.7l

Blair Athol Distillery is based in the picturesque Victorian market town of Pitlochry, in the Mid Highlands.

Whisky has been produced since 1798, but it was not until Arthur Bell & Sons, which purchased the defunct plant in 1933 and resumed production 15 years later, that it fully exploited its potential (today it is 2.8 million liters of distillate per year). Currently, both the Bell's and Blair Athol brands belong to Diageo. Blair Athol was never promoted as a single malt, most of the production was consumed by Bell's blends. The whisky presented here is a proposal of The Single Cask Ltd. - distilled on April 23, 2008, it was finished in a quarter cask rum cask (no. 303409A), and bottled at cask strength (56.3% abv) on September 20, 2021 in an edition of 151 bottles.

Aroma: fruity, apples, pears, pineapples, coconut flakes, milk tea, vanilla, caramel, cinnamon buns and toasted oak.

Palate: brown sugar, vanilla, toffee, sultanas, Turkish delight, oranges, grilled pineapple, sugared nuts, milk chocolate and a hint of herbs.

Finish : medium long, with notes of caramel, golden syrup, tropical fruits, white pepper, cinnamon and oak.
