Blair Athol 38 Year Old The Eternal Cycle 1986 is an exceptionally rare Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky, independently bottled by ONE8NINE. Distilled in March 1986, this expression underwent 38 years of maturation in a first-fill oloroso Sherry hogshead. The extended ageing process has resulted in a spirited character with depth and complexity. Tasting notes reveal layers of dried fruits, rich chocolate and subtle spice, with a backdrop of smoky oak. ONE8NINE is known for selecting distinguished casks, and only 122 bottles were produced.

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.
