Adelphi - Blair Athol 12y, 2008, 56.5%, 301b

Take your time with this one. Let it sit in the glass to breathe a little while.

Distilled in 2008, bottled in 2021 at 56.5%. Only 301 bottles produced from this first-fill Olorosso sherry cask Blair Athol. From Cask 311135.

Nose: Tangy orange and dark chocolate, with clove and a hint of dried grass.

Palate: Subtly flinty, but with more than enough sultana, cranberry, and mocha notes to balance it.

Finish: Lingering Christmas spices and another touch of chocolatey sweetness.
