BLAIR ATHOL 1995 25 Year Old Old Malt Cask

BLAIR ATHOL 1995 25 Year Old Hunter Laing

Blair Athol is a historic Scotch whisky distillery located in Pitlochry, Scotland, within the central Highlands region. This distillery is renowned for producing a rich, full-bodied single malt Scotch whisky with a notable sherry influence. Blair Athol’s whisky offerings often feature flavors of dried fruits, nuts, and a touch of malt sweetness, making it a favorite among those who appreciate a well-balanced and robust whisky. Established in 1798, Blair Athol is one of the oldest working distilleries in Scotland, and its long-standing tradition of quality craftsmanship is reflected in its exceptional whisky expressions.

Hunter Laing & Co was established in 2013 by Stewart Laing. Having co-managed his father’s Douglas Laing company with his brother Fred since 1982, the two eventually decided to split the company assets and strike out on their own with two separate enterprises. Stewart was joined by his two sons, Andrew and Scott, absorbing their Edition Spirits company in the process. Hunter Laing had grand ambitions beyond its traditional independent bottling roots, and announced its plans to open Ardnahoe distillery on Islay in 2016. The first casks were filled there two years later under the guidance of the legendary Jim McEwan.

The Old Malt Cask series is one of the most established independent labels on the market. It was launched by Douglas Laing in 1998 and bottled by them until 2013 when the brand became part of the Hunter Laing portfolio instead. This special release is presented in a replica of the original livery of the brand and bottled in 2018 for its 20th anniversary.

A 1995 vintage Blair Athol, this is one of just 293 bottles.
