SIngle Cask Nation – Blair Athol 10 Years Old

Single Cask Nation
Blair Athol 10 years old
2nd fill PX Sherry Cask
55.3% ABV

Well balanced might be used a lot when describing a whisky, but that’s exactly what comes to mind as I sip this one.⁣
⁣
It’s easy on the nose considering it’s high ABV, subtle sweetness with scents of cinnamon and other spices. I get a bit of biscuit/cookie on the nose as well. ⁣
⁣
On the palate the high ABV hits you at first but it fades quickly and reveals a bit of sherry (less than I expected to be honest, in a good way) and lots of spice. Every time I sip it I pick out something a bit different. ⁣
I pick up a lot of pepper, cinnamon and other spices. ⁣
I pick up the biscuit notes on the palate as well, especially into the finish where the spice slowly fades and the sweeter notes sneak back in and linger for a good while. ⁣
⁣
If you haven’t had a chance to taste anything from Single Cask Nation I suggest you make it a point to track down a bottle and dive in. ⁣
Every one is unique, and so far I haven’t had one that isn’t delicious.⁣
