blair athol 12... A Flora and Fauna release from the Blair Athol distillery, this 12 year old exudes sherry and Christmas pudding notes with spice. Blair Athol does not receive the acclaim it so thoroughly deserves.

I'm a bit of a fan of Islay whiskys, and Ardberg is one of my favourites.

2020 Château du Tertre Bel Air, Côtes de Bordeaux
https://images.vivino.com/thumbs/s5b...VA_pb_x600.png
"Deep colour bordering on black with dark purple reflections. Nose of black fruits, pepper and violet. Fruity and powerful at point of entry with a mid-palate marked by slightly harsh tannins that need to soften."
One of the most enjoyable wines I have tasted this year. Needs to be opened in plenty of time before consumption and allowed to breathe.
14% ABV, £18 a bottle
