Moving away from the distillery’s previous vintage-only approach, Balblair’s new range was released in 2019 and now proudly displays age-statements. The Balblair 15yo is matured initially in American oak ex-bourbon casks, followed by a finishing period in first-fill, Spanish oak butts. Non-chillfiltered, naturally coloured and bottled at 46%.
Nose: Leatherwood honey and spicy gingerbread followed by juicy prunes and fresh lemon peel.
Palate: Velvety in texture, bursting with dark chocolate, tropical fruit and spices.
Finish: Long and mellow, with notes of creamy vanilla and citrus.
