Single Malt
Scotland
1 Jan 1997
The youngest of the trio of 2007 released Balblair vintages, this 1997 vintage single malt enjoyed maturation in a host of first-fill bourbon casks.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Crisp, herbal, berries and barley, nutty vanilla.
Sweet, a little earthen quality with a fruity robustness. More vanilla, but now creamier, and gently infused with the oak.
Silken with warm pastries.

Balblair is probably imho the best of the independent whisky houses, an understated elegance, yet powerful whisky. For the man who has experienced the ups and downs of life and what it has to offer.
Exquisite body full of resonance this malt is absolutely a dream to mein pallet. Pah.
I don´t believe none of these guys can appreciate such an exquisite single malt... delightful delivery, smooth and vanilla to the palate.... incredibly smooth for a relatively young malt... I regularly taste Macallan, Dalwhinnie, Glenfiddich, Glenlivet, Chivas 18 and Buchanan's 18... or maybe a Gold Label... and one of my favourites is Caol Ila 12... but this Balblair is a truly delicious liquor for anyone. Newbies or more Refined Malt Drinkers. This Malt is worth every single Pound or Penny you pay for, if you know Malt, otherwise just go with a $25 Bells. But if you want something delicious and give yourself a treat BALBAIR is a great choice! And that´s THE TRUTH!
Kinda disappointing, way to young and both nose and palate is way to strong. It tastes nothing like 21 years old Glenfarclas.
There's too little in the nose and the delivery in the palate is also not that much.
