1995 Blair Athol 15 Year Old Highland Malt Old Malt Cask 50% Abv Sherry Butt

Colour: Gold.

Nose: Lovely kinds of mentholated oranges. The sherry’s very obvious. Walnuts, touches of mustard, green apples, all that. With water: bread crumbs, toasts, drops of Guinness indeed, and a chalkiness.

Mouth (neat): Some peppered walnuts and almonds plus a large bag of Seville oranges. Nice bitter feel. With water: good malty development, with also a little mint.

Finish: Rather long and dry.. Roasted malt, bitter oranges, leather, a bit of gingerbread.
