Blair Athol Fable Crows Chapter 6 Single Cask #302960 9 year old 55.9% ABV Nose: Spicy and oaky at first sniff. A cool and relaxed whisky. Assorted fruits and jams with time. Thick and rich. Darker and more mysterious by the minute. I find traces of nuts and chocolate also now - nougat in fact. Love the development here. Palate: Smooth and rich in character. Lovely, rounded spiciness. Cinnamon, earthy vanilla and licorice root. Dried fruits. Finish: Long finish. Rich, dark and fruity all the way. A touch of green in the end. Oh, and a hit of fresh pepper mint as the curtains close.
