Blair Athol 11 Year Old Berry Bros

Single sherry cask #2157. 11-year old bottling of the fruity Highland malt from the distillery located south of Pitlochry. Blair Athol Blair Athol Distillery was established in 1798 and with footprints in four centuries it is one of oldest working malt whisky distilleries in Scotland. Blair Athol Distillery is situated on the southern edge of Pitlochry in the heart of Scotland’s Highland whisky region and was on the main road and rail routes to whisky blenders Perth, Edinburgh and Glasgow.  Purchased by Arthur Bell & Sons in1933 and now promoted as the ‘home’ of Arthur Bell’s range of blended scotch whisky complete with distillery visitor centre and Blair Athol Distillery tours. Since a large percentage of Blair Athol’s malt whisky cascades into blends, Bell’s to be precise, the range of Blair Athol single malts is quite limited.   There is a pleasing depth of intensity heralding what is to come on the palate. Full and sinewy with nutty and toasty notes, this is a rather grand restorative dram with a sweet teasing finish.
