2006 North Star Blair Athol 14 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Think you've tried it all? Try this Blair Athol finished for 19 months in a Mezcal cask. It's not uncommon for Speysiders to be matured in x-Islay whisky barrels. The concept is the same here: Mezcal typically adds tropical fruit and gently smokey notes to malty Highlanders. 196 bottles, distilled September 2006, bottled July 2021. 49% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

Notes from the bottlers... Nose – Extra zesty fresh lime Caipirinha with loads of brown sugar, topped up with pineapple juice. Palate – Cinnamon, fresh melon and hints of white pepper. Finish – Dried apricots, toasted nuts, floral notes and more citrus fruit.
