Tasting Notes

Nose

Magnificent sherry, dried fruit, dark chocolate. Twenty-three years and sherry casks have produced a nose of extraordinary depth from this blending workhorse. Nutty, rich, with old oak and a generous warmth.

Palate

Full and gloriously sherried — dried fruit, dark chocolate, roasted nut. The twenty-three years reveal a quality in Blair Athol's spirit that the standard 12 cannot show. Mid-palate brings espresso, a gentle warmth and a magnificent depth. At cask strength, superb.

Finish

Very long, with sherry richness and mature oak.

Expert Review

8.5/10

Blair Athol's rare aged release — Bell's backbone at magnificent maturity, sherried and at natural strength.
