Balblair 1990 (bottled 2013) - 2nd Release 70cl Whisky
Customer Rating
“Characteristic sweetness of Balblair married to strong cask flavors that tastes like the liquid floating on top of crème caramel. No hint of the heathery peat that makes the 1999 so interesting, this is all sweetness and cask. A beautiful after-dinner drink.”
Master of Malt Customer
Description
As the world began its ten-year saunter towards the new Millennium, Balblair distilled this expression of their excellent single malt in 1990 and set it aside to mature in ex-bourbon casks. 21 years later, they moved the whisky over to Oloroso sherry butts for the last two years of maturation before they bottled the single malt for this delicious release.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Lush toffee, milk chocolate and a good helping of vanilla. A sprinkle of spice round out the nose.
Palate
Citrus fruits come through first, followed by honey-covered raisins. The spice from the nose makes an appearance.
Finish
Lengthy and full-flavoured.
Overall
Good amounts of sweet fruits and soft spices, a brilliant full-bodied expression.
