Tasting notes
Elegant, approachable and remarkably fresh for its 23 years, this unpeated single malt deftly carries its cask strength. The palate is an artful combination of delicacy and depth of flavour. Vanilla, coconut, balsa, heather honey, malted milk biscuits and soft souk spices, intermingled with crisp citrus and the classic ripe tropical fruit indicative of Balblair. The kind of dram that can see you through all four seasons; warming enough for the coldest winter’s night, but equally as refreshing on a warm summer’s evening.
