About the Bottling

This Auld Goonsy's Malt release presents Blair Athol through a single second-fill Oloroso hogshead, allowing the distillery character and sherry-cask influence to remain in balance. Bottled at a robust 57.7% cask strength from an individual cask yielding only 286 bottles, it offers enthusiasts a naturally presented and distinctly individual expression outside the distillery's more familiar official releases.

About the Distillery

Blair Athol is one of the Highlands' long-established distilleries, with roots in Pitlochry dating to the late 18th century. Much of its production has historically played an important role in blended Scotch, while independently bottled single casks provide a less common opportunity to explore its rich, malty Highland character in a more individual form.

Archive Notes

Please review all product images carefully. Minor cosmetic wear to labels, capsules, cartons, or presentation cases may be present due to age, long-term storage, or secondary-market sourcing.

Natural variation in fill level, packaging condition, and label ageing can occur in older releases and forms part of the character of mature collectible whisky.
