Blair Athol 15 years old 52% abv 70cl

The European Goldfinch – marked out by the vibrant splash
of red on its head – makes its summer home in Scotland,
stripping feathery down from our native thistles to line its
nest. When winter falls, these distinctive little birds migrate
to the south of Spain, settling close to the sherry bodegas
that the whisky industry relies for its supply of richly casks.
The Goldfinch delivers excellent and classic sherry finished
single malt whisky.

Time and time again we get amazing results when finishing
single casks from the once underrated Blair Athol
distillery. This 15 year old release does not disappoint,
finished for 18 months in an Oloroso sherry cask. The spirit
is smooth, and nutty, with raisins, malt notes and almond and
marzipan from the sherry. Released at cask strength and
aged for 15 years. Non-chill filtered and entirely natural in
colour. Only 320 bottles were taken from this outstanding
cask.

Tasting Notes:
Nose
Malt, almonds and hints of marzipan jump out at you.
Palate
Beautifully rich, warm and leafy with some savoury and
grassy undertones.
Finish
Slow and wonderfully lingering, elegant in its complexity
and long lasting
