Tasting Notes
One whiff of Blair Athol's 23-Year-Old 1993 Special Release 2017 transports you straight to a cozy fireside, enveloped in the warmth of sherried notes and the allure of peppermint creams. The palate is a delightful dance of toffee apples leading the way, intertwined with raisins, striking a harmonious balance of sweetness and depth. As the rich, creamy flavors linger, plum and grapefruit squash notes emerge, accompanied by a delicate hint of nettle, leaving a lasting impression. This rare gem, crafted from European oak butts treated with a meticulous process of scraping, toasting, recharring, and fortified wine infusion, offers a deep and nuanced experience that beautifully marries the art of whisky-making with the magic of time.
