The Blair Athol 17 Years Old from the Signatory Vintage 100 Proof Edition is a powerful single cask bottling with an impressive 57.1% ABV, sourced from the exclusive Cask #12. Distilled in 2007 and bottled in 2024 after 17 years of maturation, this Highland single malt is a true highlight for lovers of complex, cask-strength whiskies with individual cask characteristics.
