Description

Formed after Fred and Stewart Laing parted ways in 2013, Hunter Laing is under ownership of the latter and his two sons. The company took over Edition Spirits and began releasing their First Editions series. Since the demerger, Hunter Laing claimed the following ranges: Old Malt Cask; Old and Rare Selection; and the Sovereign. The First Editions range from Hunter Laing's Edition Spirits branch consists of single cask bottlings, always at natural cask strength and without colouring or chill filtration. This Blair Athol was distilled in 1995 and aged for 22 years in a single sherry butt before being bottled in 2018.

Orange and raisin stand out.

The oranges and raisins give this a clear fruit thread, while the big sherry, pepper and oak make it feel more weighty than bright. A good fit if fruit can share the space.

There’s a pleasing meeting of sweetness and spice here: caramel and big sherry sit alongside pepper, while the finish brings together toffee, spice and cinnamon. The nose adds oranges, raisins and seasoned wood, giving the sherried character a bright, earthy edge. That contrast is what draws me to these notes; the spice has company rather than taking over. A warm, substantial-sounding Highland single malt, with enough variety across nose, palate and finish to keep the character from feeling one-note.

Oak beside citrus and sherry?
