Tasting Notes
Nestled in the heart of the Highlands, this 16-year-old Blair Athol single malt is a true gem from North Star Spirits' Cask Series 21. Initially matured in a refill hogshead, the whisky then ventured into an oloroso sherry hogshead, where it acquired its captivating complexity. On the nose, it unveils a delightful ensemble of toasted marzipan, caramelized biscuits, and dusted cocoa powder. The palate is a harmonious dance of roasted malt, praline, sultanas, cinnamon, and alluring mocha notes. As you savor the finish, waves of maple syrup, crumbly fudge, baking spices, and peppery oak linger delightfully. With only 287 bottles released in 2022, this whisky is a rare treasure that showcases the skill and artistry of the distillers at Blair Athol, meticulously crafted to delight the senses of discerning whisky enthusiasts.
