Balblair 1983 (bottled 2013) - 1st Release 70cl Whisky
Customer Rating
“This one is absolutely a favourite. ”
Master of Malt Customer
Description
Replacing the 1975 vintage, the Balblair 1983 is a lip-smackingly rich single malt Scotch whisky from the distillery in the Highlands. Matured in ex-bourbon barrels since 1983, it's got a palate packed with cracking sweetness and a warming hint of oak.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Warm toffee syrup drizzled over a classic banana split, complete with vanilla ice-cream, chocolate sprinkles and a cherry on the top. Yum yum!
Palate
The sweet treats from the nose calm down just a little on the palate, with a spicy flutter of cinnamon and oak balancing out the fresh fruit and butterscotch rather well.
Finish
Long and equally enjoyable as the rest of this whisky.
Overall
The 1983 is a top dram from Balblair. Lots and lots to love about it.
