Taste - Good mouthfeel, full and rich (jammy?). Similar to the nose really with a fruity arrival that's sweeter than expected, some of that leather note comes as it develops and then a tang of peat at the end. Robust.

Then slightly sour apple and homemade digestive biscuits. Butterscotch, marzipan. Very smooth and gentle, but welcome warming sensation. More apple, some apricot jam, this light toffee and a little vanilla custard. Pear frangipane tart dressed with toasted flaked almond. Slightly floral. Dusty vanilla. Conclusions:

Unlike traditional sherry casks, this batch of Blair Athol whisky has been exclusively aged in brand-new, first-fill Bourbon barrels. This meticulous aging process results in a whisky that is naturally balanced and boasts a flavor profile unlike any other. Nose - Coffee first up, tiramisu, rich toffee, vanilla fudge, pine, conifers, a slight acetone note, dark chocolate, roasted hazelnuts, digestive biscuits, Christmas pudding, dried fruits, glace cherries, raisins, old leather. From a 3cl sample bottle. Blair Athol is fairly unknown as a single malt as aside from this flora and fauna bottling most of the distillery output goes into Bell's blends. That's not really a glowing endorsement in my book and from my personal experience of Bell's, but actually I really enjoyed this. Here, despite the chilling effect of the wind, more flavour develops from this small pour. More apple, apple peelings, a deeper baked apple note. Then, slightly sour apple and homemade digestive biscuits. Swallowing gives a very smooth and gentle, but welcome warming sensation.As short distance along the river we encounter a broken weir and sluice gate, relics of the heavily industrialised history of the lower reaches of the river. Huge mills stood, hydraulically powered, weaving jute (and more recently polypropylene) until about 50 years ago. I take the chance to capture a worthy photograph and to enjoy the first sample of the Blair Athol; juicy fresh apples that pass briefly. Perhaps a little simple?
