Blair Athol 2006-2021 | 14 Year Old North Star Spirits

Highland Single Malt Whisky
Bottled By North Star Spirits 70cl / 49%

North Star Spirits have released another Mezcal-finished cask of Blair Athol 2006, presumably because it's allowed now, so why not?!  Expect delicious peppery exotic fruit flavours.

This 14-year-old Blair Athol 2006 started life in a refill hogshead before being spending the last 19 months of its maturation in a cask that previously held Mezcal, Mexico's agave spirit (of which tequila is a sub-category).  196 bottles were yielded from the hogshead, at 49%.
