Blair Athol 'Adelphi' 2011 / 13 years old 56.6%

Offering an example of the less cask-driven profile of Blair Athol, this 13 year old Adelphi bottling is an explosion of fruit, with gooseberry, ripe apples and white grape notes. The palate is bright and bold, with candied lemons, cream filled doughnuts and a sweet pastry quality - like a bear claw or almond croissants. This is a weighty dram with a mouth-filling texture and a very moreish quality.
