The third release of Balblair's 1999 vintage is a welcome one, as the highland Scotch whisky was aged in an interesting combination of American oak, ex-bourbon barrels and Spanish oak ex-sherry butts. It was bottled in 2017 at 46% ABV, with its natural colour and without chill filtration.
Soaked raisins, Christmas cake, vanilla, oily orange peel, a good helping of caramel and a sprinkle of cinnamon spice.
Autumnal fruits and ground winter spices blend beautifully amongst toffee apples. Toasty oak glazed in honey and a citrusy bite linger.
Smooth and lengthy, with gingerbread spice and a hint of leather.
I just freaked out ?! Yes . I saved up a lot of good
This is Balblair 18yo, half its price today ...
