Blair Athol 10 Year Old 2002 Hepburn's Choice

Hepburn's Choice is a label from Hunter Laing, a new whisky company that was created after the brothers/owners of Douglas Laing split up. They have quite a few single casks out already and this is one of them. A Blair Athol. It is a youngling that matured on a bourbon cask for 10 years. It is very pale.

The nose is somewhat closed. Some breakfast cereals and whie fruit. Think apples and pears and some icing sugar. Quite clean, but there is not a lot going on, I must say.

The arrival on the palate is soft. The body is ok. Pears, vanilla biscuits and some ginger. It also has something milky, which reminds me a bit of yoghurt. With some pineapple. Soft and very accessible, but truth be told a bit… boring.

The finish is short to medium on mostly vanilla.

A typical and very quaffable card player’s whisky. Rather boring and the kind of whisky you do not want to study. Nothing wrong with it, but far from exciting.
