Blair Athol Blair Athol 15 Year Old - Oloroso Cask Finish - Darkness

My prior experience with Blair Athol has been very positive, but I can still only find special releases, no regulars. The folks at Darkness bottled tonight’s dram at 15 years old. It opens with toasted oak, raisins, cinnamon, and charred orange peel, followed by dark bitter chocolate, creamy caramel, and pecan pralines, then firey red-hots, a little clove, blue plums, and lots of malt. The legs are thick-and-runny, delivering a medium-long finish of well-balanced yumminess.

Drink slow, drink long, drink a variety, drink often.
