Description
The Signatory Vintage Blair Athol 13 Years Old 1st Fill Ruby Port Cask Strength Single Malt Whisky is an exclusive and limited Highland bottling from the renowned Signatory Vintage Collection. This fine single malt whisky was distilled on September 30, 2011 and bottled on May 01, 2025 after 13 years of maturation. It was matured in a 1st Fill Ruby Port Hogshead (Cask No. 1), which gave it an exceptionally fruity and deep aroma. The influence of the Ruby Port gives it intense notes of ripe berries, cherries, chocolate and oak spice, which harmonize perfectly with the malty character of the Blair Athol Distillery.
This cask strength single malt was bottled at a strong 57.7% vol., not chill-filtered and with a natural color, i.e. without any additives - in the spirit of authentic craftsmanship. The limited edition of just 308 bottles makes it a real collector's item and a connoisseur's whisky. The Blair Athol Distillery, located in Pitlochry in the Scottish Highlands, is known for its rich, nutty and fruity whiskies with a fine spiciness. This bottling from the Signatory Vintage range expresses precisely these characteristics in an impressive way and shows how harmoniously port maturation and Highland malt can merge.
