Strawberry Fields – 10 Year Old Blair Athol – First Fill Red Wine Barrique

Let me take you down because we’re going down to… Strawberry Fields.

A heady, aromatic and utterly dreamy single malt. Rich, smooth and matured every day of it’s ageing in first-fill red wine barrique. This is available to order now.

This release is strictly limited to just 3 bottles per customer.

£67.00

Strawberry Fields- brought to life by the combination of 3 sister casks. Each has the same utterly splendid un-peated spirit from Blair Athol distillery, soaked in first fill red wine oak every single day of it’s ten year maturation. Each cask was filled on the same day, and bottled on the same day.  As always, our single malt is proudly offered to you free from colouring or chill-filtration at  50% ABV. Our rather gorgeous bottles are each filled and labelled by hand in small batches. These rare bottles are highly collectable but best savoured “in glass”.

 

WHY THE NAME - STRAWBERRY FIELDS?

This single malt is rich, unctuous, heady, aromatic, sweet and just dreamy… Pair that with the faint pink hue imparted by the first fill red wine cask and we rather think the name slips into place. The scent of fresh red berries meander out of the glass. An astounding whisky, best paired with an excellent record and an otherwise chilled out evening.

WHICH DISTILLERY?

Blair Athol Single Malt Scotch, a picturesque distillery nestled in the Highlands, just south of the Cairngorms national park. A smooth, mellow and unctuous whisky from a stunning corner of Scotland, enjoyed the whole world over. 

This release will be ready for shipping in December 2021.

Nose

Pronounced fruity aromas are immediately detectable followed by oak, strawberry jam, a touch of chocolate and warmth of spice.

Palate
A quick strike of cracked black pepper fills the mouth and quickly dissipates. A softer red fruit and sweetness oozes onto the palate. Unctuous and rich jam, chocolate and dried fruits follow close behind. A touch of leather, oak and a hint of vanilla meander through. 

Finish
The warmth remains a long time in the mouth accompanied by the more mature chocolate and leathery tones. A drying spice lingers on.
