Tasting Notes

This Blair Athol single cask whisky, with its enchanting moniker "The Water Horse," beckons you to embark on a mythical journey. Pouring an amber hue, the nose unveils a delightful interplay of sherried delights, nutty caresses, and spiced oak intrigue. As you sip, the palate unfurls a tapestry of dark, dried fruits – dates and raisins – woven with baking spices, echoes of sweet earthy coffee, and hints of bitter chocolate. The finish lingers, a captivating dance of spiced fruits akin to fruit cake, zesty citrus whispers, and toasted nutty nuances. Bottled at a robust 53.8% cask strength, this limited release of 229 bottles from Douglas Laing's Clan Denny Chronicles series is a true embodiment of the legendary Water Horse, a mystical creature from Celtic lore that lurks in the depths of lochs and lakes.
