BLAIR ATHOL 1997 21 Year Old Douglas Laing – XOP

Blair Athol Distillery, nestled in the Highland region of Scotland near Pitlochry, holds a rich history dating back to its founding in 1798. The distillery upholds traditional whisky-making methods, employing copper pot stills and wooden washbacks to craft its whiskies. Its water source, the Allt Dour Burn, contributes to the distinctive character of Blair Athol whiskies. Renowned for their smooth and fruity flavor profile, the whiskies often feature delightful notes of honey, malt, dried fruit, and a subtle hint of peat smoke. Under the ownership of Diageo, Blair Athol whiskies primarily play a role in blended Scotch whiskies. Despite this, occasional official single malt releases and independent bottlings provide enthusiasts with an opportunity to savor the distillery’s unique offerings. Embraced by whisky lovers and visitors alike, Blair Athol’s scenic location and traditional production methods make it a captivating destination, offering an authentic taste of Highland Scotch whisky. As with any distillery, it’s prudent to check official sources for the most current information on Blair Athol Distillery and its expressions.
