As short distance along the river we encounter a broken weir and sluice gate, relics of the heavily industrialised history of the lower reaches of the river. Huge mills stood, hydraulically powered, weaving jute (and more recently polypropylene) until about 50 years ago. I take the chance to capture a worthy photograph and to enjoy the first sample of the Blair Athol; juicy fresh apples that pass briefly. Perhaps a little simple? Nose - Sweet and dry sherry but leaning to the latter. Fresh raisins and soft dried figs with a little vanilla if you persist. There's some leather and pale blonde tobacco notes. Slight minerality or chalky note too with a hint of match box that's well integrated. Nutty and a waft of peat smoke - again persistence pays off with this nose. Nothing in the Terms shall exclude or limit our liability for fraudulent misrepresentation or for death or personal injury resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct by us.

As for the likelihood of spotting otters around the Blair Athol distillery? Well, as good as anywhere. Having been lost for much of the country between the 1950s and 1970s, there are now an estimated 8,000 otters in Scotland since being designated as a protected species. About half of Scotland’s otters are costal dwellers, and as such the very best otter spotting is around the coasts rather than inland such as Blair Athol. Distilleries such as Talisker, Scapa, or those on Islay perhaps best?

Blair Athol changed hands several times during the 1800s and eventually closed in 1932. A year later the distillery was acquired by Arthur Bell and Sons and today as much as 95% of the outturn is bourbon-matured and used in Bell’s blended products. The whisky boasts a swift maturation and the remaining five or so percent of spirit is aged in sherry casks and sold as single malt, mostly by independent bottlers.

A little further along the north bank, closer to Marykirk village, passing a few nodding acquaintances, I find a strand line from recent high water which seems to be a good place for further photography and another small sample. Crafted with the utmost dedication and attention to detail, this exceptional bottle is a must-have addition to any whisky collection. Whether you're a connoisseur or a whisky enthusiast, the Blair Athol 12 Year Old 2009 (Mossburn) whisky is sure to surprise and delight your senses.

Nose: Heavily sherried and nutty (it always amazes me how I always smell the sherry first, the nuts come afterwards), smoke, scents of peat If we decide not to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms, such decision shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
