The Blair Athol 2007 – 100 Proof Exceptional Cask Edition #9 is an intense and characterful single malt whisky from the Eastern Highlands, bottled by Signatory Vintage. Distilled in 2007 and bottled in 2025 after 17 years of maturation, this whisky was matured in first-fill Oloroso sherry butts.
Bottled at a robust 57.1% ABV (equivalent to 100 British Proof), this Blair Athol is bottled at its full strength – naturally non-chill filtered and with its natural color.
A versatile, smooth and easy-drinking whisky, with a good balance of sweet and dry notes and a medium-length finish. This 12-year-old single malt whisky is surprisingly rich and sherried, with notes of baked fruits, spices and chocolate.
Nose - Heather Honey with hints of cinnamon and toffee bonbon. Very subtle hints of peat smoke.
Palate - Creamy vanilla spice gives way to more overt smoky charcoal notes, especially with the addition of water. Smoke doesn’t dominate and is balanced by the sweet honey and spice flavours.
Finish - Full bodied, silky mouth feel with a dry, tangy and lingering aftertaste, coupled with delicious spice notes.
