Description
Originally established as Aldour Distillery in 1798 (and changed to Blair Athol in 1825) this is one of the Diageo stable and a key component in their blends. The Blair Athol distillate is full bodied and typically at the nutty end of the flavour wheel. The bolder spirit lends itself to weightier cask maturation or finishing. Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish.

Highlands
Highlands: Clans, Schafe, Whiskys
Die schottischen Highlands, die nur wenige Kilometer nördlich von Glasgow beginnen, und sich von dort über fast 400 Kilometer bis zum nördlichsten Zipfel des schottischen Festlandes ziehen, sind eine mystische Landschaft. Seit Jahrhunderten wird hier die Politik und die Kultur von alteingesessenen Clans bestimmt. Auf dem kargen Hügelland dominiert die Schafzucht. Zudem reifen hier einige der komplexesten und elegantesten Single Malts.
