Tasting Notes

Nose: Fresh bursts of vanilla pod, toasted marshmallow and lemon blossom mingle with honeyed cereal, coconut shavings and a hint of white-pepper spice. Palate: Silky layers of toffee cream, baked apple and malted biscuit glide across the tongue, chased by cinnamon bark, almond nougat and a bright flash of candied citrus peel. Finish: Medium-long, warming and gently drying—lingering sweet oak spice, vanilla sponge and a final flourish of honeyed malt.

Explore Highland malt re-energised by fresh timber with Blair Athol 17 Year Old – 2008 Vintage, Alistair Walker “Infrequent Flyers” (Cask #807415). Distilled in Pitlochry and laid down in a single virgin-American-oak barrel, this whisky spent seventeen years drawing creamy vanilla, toasted coconut and lively spice straight from untouched staves before bottling at natural cask strength in March 2025. Non-chill-filtered and natural in colour, only 230 showcase Blair Athol’s nutty, honey-malt core brightened by vigorous new-oak character—another rare flight from the Infrequent Flyers hangar.
