Blair Athol 2007 14 YO 54.3%
Nose: Brown sugar, plums and sunflower seeds.
Mouth: Smooth, creamy with sunflower seeds. Alcohol is not overpowering. Milky chocolate with vanilla as part of the expression. There is also a damp wood expression as well.
Finish: Short and light oak spice. Overall not complicated, very simple and pleasant.
Looking forward to opening this, and it doesn't disappoint. Cask strength, but there is no strong and distributing presence of alcohol. Especially in the mouth, it went down smoothly.
Nice scale: 83/100
-Nice, simple, smooth and pleasant dram. It is not too complicated, but on the pricy side, thus the 83 points landed at 2xx.
