About this Lady of The Glen whisky

This Blair Athol 11 Year Old from Lady of the Glen, founded by Gregor Hannah, is a rich and characterful Highland single malt that showcases the distillery’s naturally nutty spirit through extended and thoughtful cask finishing.

Distilled on 5 March 2014 and bottled on 5 February 2026, the whisky began its maturation in a refill hogshead before being re-racked into a first fill ex-Amontillado sherry barrique (cask 303402) for over six years - more than half of its life. This unusually long finishing period allows the cask influence to integrate deeply, shaping the whisky rather than simply adding a final layer.

Blair Athol Distillery is known for producing a medium-bodied, sweet, and nutty spirit, often well suited to sherry maturation. The Amontillado cask, drier and more oxidative than Oloroso or PX, brings a distinctive profile of toasted nuts, dried fruits, leather, and gentle spice, complementing the distillery character rather than overwhelming it.

The result is a whisky with depth and structure beyond its years. On the nose and palate, expect cassia bark, dark chocolate, and glazed apple, with a balance of sweetness and dryness that keeps the whisky poised and engaging. The extended time in the Amontillado cask adds a savoury edge and complexity, giving the whisky a more mature, layered feel.

Bottled at cask strength (58.1% ABV), with natural colour and without chill filtration, this is a whisky that delivers both intensity and texture. With an outturn of 214 bottles, it remains a limited and distinctive release.

A compelling example of Blair Athol’s affinity for sherry casks: rich, nutty, and structured, with a drier, more refined edge thanks to the influence of Amontillado.

Meet The Founder

Gregor Hannah

Lady Of The Glen was founded by, and is still run by, Gregor Hannah. From a young age, Gregor developed a keen interest in whisky, influenced by his father, a Scottish piper. His father would often receive bottles of whisky as tokens of appreciation for his performances at various celebrations, including weddings and Burn's Nights. Fascinated by the wide array of bottles, each with its own unique colours, shape, and label, Gregor developed a strong appreciation for scotch whisky.

Two and a half decades later, while working at a bar, Gregor's learned about independent bottling. Here, he gained in-depth knowledge about the history and techniques of sourcing and bottling unique whiskies. This led him to establish Lady of The Glen in 2012. The brand is independently owned and specialises in sourcing and bottling rare, single-cask whiskies from various regions in Scotland.
