Balblair 1969
Following the Balblair 1965, the distillery has dug deep into their stocks and uncovered some single malt Scotch whisky which was distilled in 1969! It was bottled in 2012 after spending 43 years in ex-bourbon remade hogsheads. 999 bottles of this extraordinary whisky were produced.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Smoke and spice waft up, with apples, pear drops and a subtle mint note.
Palate
Complex and rewarding, it begins with the fruit sweetness of oranges, apples and bananas. This is followed by oak spices, warming up the palate for the smoky vanilla that comes afterwards.
Finish
The finish lasts and lasts. The apple notes continue to linger.
Overall
The 1969 vintage Balblair is simply incredible. It's the type of dram you spend hours thinking about afterwards.
