Blair Athol 12 Year Old Flora and Fauna 70cl Bottle

Product Information

A little further along the north bank, closer to Marykirk village, passing a few nodding acquaintances, I find a strand line from recent high water which seems to be a good place for further photography and another small sample. We may, but are not under any obligation, to release new functionalities and tools or other features for the Service every now and then. Any new functionalities, tools and features shall be part of and governed by the Terms from the moment they are launched and/or available. Further, we reserve the right to modify, change, discontinue the Service, add or remove features, update the Service, change its appearance, temporarily and permanently, at any time, in whole or any part thereof. As for the likelihood of spotting otters around the Blair Athol distillery? Well, as good as anywhere. Having been lost for much of the country between the 1950s and 1970s, there are now an estimated 8,000 otters in Scotland since being designated as a protected species. About half of Scotland’s otters are costal dwellers, and as such the very best otter spotting is around the coasts rather than inland such as Blair Athol. Distilleries such as Talisker, Scapa, or those on Islay perhaps best?

If we decide not to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms, such decision shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. From a 3cl sample bottle. Blair Athol is fairly unknown as a single malt as aside from this flora and fauna bottling most of the distillery output goes into Bell's blends. That's not really a glowing endorsement in my book and from my personal experience of Bell's, but actually I really enjoyed this. Crafted with the utmost dedication and attention to detail, this exceptional bottle is a must-have addition to any whisky collection. Whether you're a connoisseur or a whisky enthusiast, the Blair Athol 12 Year Old 2009 (Mossburn) whisky is sure to surprise and delight your senses.

As short distance along the river we encounter a broken weir and sluice gate, relics of the heavily industrialised history of the lower reaches of the river. Huge mills stood, hydraulically powered, weaving jute (and more recently polypropylene) until about 50 years ago. I take the chance to capture a worthy photograph and to enjoy the first sample of the Blair Athol; juicy fresh apples that pass briefly.

The descending sun is an indication to return downstream. On the return, leg a murder of crows chatters in the treetops. After crossing the old Marykirk bridge again to the southern bank, powerful coal smoke from a nearby chimney heralds the evening. Whiskybase B.V.

Similar to the nose really with a fruity arrival that's sweeter than expected, some of that leather note comes as it develops and then a tang of peat at the end. Robust. But that's not all. This Blair Athol 12 Year Old 2009 (Mossburn) whisky is a true masterpiece of complexity. Subtle hints of roasted hazelnuts and oaky tannins add depth and richness to each sip, elevating your whisky tasting experience to new heights. Blair Athol changed hands several times during the 1800s and eventually closed in 1932. A year later the distillery was acquired by Arthur Bell and Sons and today as much as 95% of the outturn is bourbon-matured and used in Bell’s blended products. The whisky boasts a swift maturation and the remaining five or so percent of spirit is aged in sherry casks and sold as single malt, mostly by independent bottlers.At the riverbank, the river level is a good 2 feet higher than last week. The North Esk is renowned for salmon and trout but never gained the same fame as rivers such as the Tweed or Tay. It’s a spate river given to significant fluctuations in water level, with good finishing when the water is up. Three fishermen are waist-deep in the frigid waters about 300 yards downstream, so we turn west and head up stream hoping to spot an elusive otter.
