2011 Berry Bros. & Rudd Blair Athol, Cask Ref. 304162, Highland, Single Malt Scotch Whisky (58%)
- Scotch Whisky
Description
The nose opens with waves of rich caramel and golden sultanas, setting the stage for a sumptuous odyssey. It’s a harmonious blend of sweet, dark fruits and aged oak on the palate, enriched by a velvety layer of melted butter. Hints of fig jam and a whisper of orange zest weave through, adding depth and complexity. The finish is bold and assertive, marked by a lingering spice and steadfast sweetness, leaving an indelible mark of elegance.?

About this spirit
Blair Athol Distillery, Highlands
Barley
Barley is a key ingredient in the production of some of the world's most renowned spirits, particularly whiskey and Scotch whisky. Malted barley is used as the primary grain in many single malt and blended Scotch whiskies, where it contributes a distinct malty, nutty, and sometimes smoky flavour profile. In addition to Scotch, barley is also a staple in the production of Irish whiskey, where it often lends a smoother, creamier taste. The versatility of barley as a grain makes it a favorite for creating complex and deeply nuanced spirits cherished by enthusiasts worldwide.
