Berry's Blair Athol 2009 KWM Cask

Our first KWM exclusive single cask of Blair Athol is a 14 year old bottled for us by our friends at Berry Bros. & Rudd. The spirit was filled into a hogshead cask, #8939, in 2009, and has been bottled after 14 years at 59.1%. Only 156 total bottles!
Decadent Drams Blair Athol 28 Year KWM
$359.99
This KWM exclusive 1998 vintage Blair Athol was matured 28 years in a Refill Hogshead cask, before bottling at 56%.
This Blair Athol 28 Year is a partial cask, from which we took 120 bottles. The balance of our cask was married with another (lower ABV) Blair Athol from the same vintage and bottled as a general Decadent Drams release; it is not coming to Canada. But it is worth noting that other Blair Athol was given a 90% score by Le Serge of Whisky Fun fame, so that should give you an idea how good our cask is!
The label design for the Blair Athol is inspired by old Blair Athol OB labels from the 1960s, as Angus feels the liquid to be reminiscent of that era. The moose is a bit of pandering to stereotypes of Canada, and also a riff on a famous Scottish painting, The Monarch of the Glen (1851). Walter has been depicted riding the moose in Black Watch robes, pouring himself a generous dram of the Whisky Sponge Craigellachie 20 Year (from the first bottle he ever featured on), into a nosing bowl, with his one blue eye poking through his sunglasses.
Producer Description
"A Decadent Dram for a Decadent Dog! Walter has worked closely with Angus and the team at Decadent Drinks to select this highly natural, pure and old school example of Blair Athol. A 1998 hogshead, bottled at natural cask strength which displays elegant notes of squeaky toys, biscuit treats, tail wagging and fascinating scents that require intense scrutiny while out on walks. Only 124 bottles were availableas Walter required 84 bulk litres distributed across a wide variety of nosing bowls in order to comprehensively assess and approve this cask."
