BLAIR ATHOL 17 ans 2007 1st Fill Oloroso Sherry 100 Proof Exceptional Signatory Vintage

This Blair Athol, distilled in 2007, was aged for 17 years in first-fill oloroso sherry casks before being bottled at 57.10%. This powerful, structured Highland single malt opens with notes of date, chocolate and pepper. The 100 Proof range refers to the British system of measuring alcohol content, which corresponds to the famous “Navy Strength”. At 57.1% proof, this range highlights a variety of distilleries, which express themselves with great intensity while retaining the aromatic richness typical of Signatory Vintage's ageing expertise. A range to take tasting a step further and rediscover the ageing work of this independent bottler. Blair Athol is one of Scotland's oldest distilleries, founded in 1798 in Pitlochry, in the Highlands. Initially operating under a variety of names, it took on its present name in 1825. Renowned for its rich, malty style, it plays a key role in the blending of Bell's, one of the UK's best-selling blends. Discreet yet respected, Blair Athol appeals to lovers of sherry cask single malts thanks to its deep, warm character.
