Whiskies (5)

Blair Athol 12 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% 7 The obvious sherry ageing really suits Blair Athol. It is a malt that matures quickly, and this is very sophisticated for its age. A lovely whisky.

Whisky Magazine - Recommended - Winner

Blair Athol Berrys' Own Selection 1974
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 8 Best neat. Slightly firm but well worth a look.

Blair Athol Limited Edition
Single Malt - Scotland - 55.80% 7 Good, just lacking the extra layers which produce complexity.

Rare Malts Blair Athol 27 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 54.70% 7 The flavours seem to be held back, then suddenly released. This whisky might have been less inhibited at a younger age.

Signatory Blair Athol 1973
Single Malt - Scotland - 55.00% 8 Has matured superbly. I love the interplay of sweet and fruity, hot and dry. The orange colour distinguishes this from Signatory's earlier bottling.
