2014 Signatory Vintage Blair Athol 11 Year Old 100 Proof Edition #64 Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
Highlands, SCOTLAND
This is the third (or possibly the fourth) Blair Athol to make it into Signatory's 100 Proof range. Edition #64 was distilled in 2014 and matured in 2nd fill Oloroso sherry butts. The consensus seems to be that it's a good value everyday drinker - a little feisty uncut, but a whisky that can take water. 57.1% Alc./Vol. Non-chill filtered.
Other reviews... An intense, fruity-sweet whisky with pleasant oak notes and rather subtle sherry aromas. Very harmonious overall, despite the 57.1% alcohol content. A highly recommended daily dram. - whiskybase.com
...A mellow, robustly oaked sherry, cherry beams, quince jelly, varnish, and a light smoke that must come from the intensity of the wood. Hints of citrus, nuts, dried fruit. Soft caramel, chocolate. Spring freshness, morning dew, a stream winding between rocks. On the palate, it's creamy, honeyed, molasses, apricot kernels, then the spices awaken: black pepper, cloves. A sufficiently long and powerful finish, brimming with sap, oozing with charcoal, mocha, buttered toast, dates. That doesn't make it a masterpiece, that's clear, but it's easy to drink. - whiskybase.com
