One8Nine The Eternal Cycle Blair Athol

90/ 100Outstanding

One8Nine Blair Athol is a Scotch single malt from the Highlands, a style often known for a rich, malty character. At 38 years old, this is a notably mature whisky, where long ageing would typically bring added depth, oak influence, and a more layered profile.
