Blair Athol Single Malt 12 year old Flora & Fauna Series Early 2000's Bottling

Colour: Amber.

Nose: Starts very nutty and caramelly, with a big maltiness and hints of liquorice, developing more on notes of sherry, Seville oranges and a little peat, leather and tobacco. Rather concentrated and oily on the nose, despite the slightly ‘blendish’ character. Pleasant for sure. Mouth: the attack is even more sherried, not exactly bold but certainly satisfying. Classic fruitcake, coffee-schnapps, liquorice and orange liqueur, with hints of cherry stem tea in the background and maybe just faint hints of rubber and walnuts. An assertive dram, half-sweet, half-dry.

Finish: Medium long, very balanced, with an added spiciness (spices for mulled wine, cloves, Chinese anise and cinnamon.)

Comments: Perfect balance and profile
