Balblair 12 Year Old 70cl Whisky
Customer Rating
“I do miss the vintage releases from Balblair but to be fair they have done a decent job here and for those of us who like a range of whisky flavours this wouldn’t be out of place in any whisky cabinet. For me, it’s a start of the night whisky – quite delicate, well balanced and there’s nothing too challenging or overpowering but there is enough complexity to make it interesting. I totally understand why someone would say buy the Clynelish 14 instead but I would say buy them both as they are equally excellent whiskies despite being completely different.”

Description
In early 2019, Balblair's core range received a relaunch, eschewing the vintages that had previously adorned the bottles in favour of age statements! This is the entry level expression of the range, a 12 year old single malt matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and double-fired American oak casks. Though the vintages are gone, Balblair's whisky retains its marvellous creaminess and fruit-forward flavour profile.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Waxy peels, sponge cake, soft cedar earthiness and some nutmeg.
Palate
Juicy red apple and cooked pear, with layers of honey and barley developing.
Finish
Honey continues, with some milky tea and sultana notes for company.
