Blair Athol 16 Year Old Connoisseurs Choice Gordon and MacPhail is a Highland single malt that exemplifies traditional Highland whisky craftsmanship. Distilled in 2008 and aged for 16 years in a first-fill Sherry hogshead, this expression presents an intriguing profile of orchard fruits and a touch of spice. Notes of dried figs and leather can be discerned alongside a subtle nuttiness. The finish reveals hints of oak and dark chocolate. Gordon & MacPhail, established in 1895, is renowned for its extensive cask selection, allowing for a diverse range of bottlings reflective of Scotland`s rich whisky heritage.

Blair Athol
A Connoisseur's Highland Malt
Blair Athol distillery was established in its present incarnation by owner Robert Robertson in 1825. However its roots can be traced to 1798, when Robertson founded his original ‘Aldour' distillery in the picturesque Highland gateway town of Pitlochry in Perthshire.
Around 95% of Blair Athol's malt whisky is matured in Bourbon barrels and is reserved for Bell's, the flagship whisky of Diageo, which has owned the distillery since 1933. The remaining 5% of Blair Athol’s malt is matured in single-use Sherry casks. Since 1985, this portion has been bottled as a 12-year-old single malt as part of the Flora and Fauna series. The spirit is also frequently seen in releases by independent bottlers.
