Blair Athol 27 Year Old 1975 Rare Malts Selection

One of the few official bottlings from Blair Ahtol is this 27 Year Old from 1975, released by Diageo in their Rare Malts Selection.

It was bottled by Wemyss and got the name Autumn Berries. Wow, this is a fresh spring nose. Forget autumn. It is very light and approachable with lemongrass, hay, icing sugar, sweet malt...
