Blair Athol 11 2013/2025 - Best Dram - 2nd fill ex-Caol Ila Cask #310727

Aroma : Oat flakes with a subtle smoky note and caramelized apple, plus butter cake with a hint of lemon zest.

Palate : Powerful entry with a creamy, almost sloppy mouthfeel. The peat smoke is noticeably more present than on the nose, with a sweet vanilla flavor. A distinct butter cake, along with light tannins, is evident, while the fruit notes on the nose recede. The finish is long, shifting from sweet to spicy to a peaty finish.
