The ImpEx Collection 15 year old Blair Athol 2007, 55.4%

Price: 150 Issue: Winter 2023 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Single Malt Scotch

Disgorged from a single oloroso sherry butt, this never feels too hot to enjoy at cask strength. The nose has red apple and lemon peel, and it pulses with a dry spiciness. The sherry fruit drives the flavor with raspberry, strawberry, cherry, caramel, pepper, and a hint of clove, evolving into shredded lime peels, aniseed cough drops, and apple peels, with a spiced fruitiness on the warming finish. (654 bottles)
