    Balblair 2002 - 1st Release

    Balblair bucked convention a few years ago by removing age statements from their whiskies and replaced them with vintages. The 2002 is replacing the 2001 as the entry level offering and offers delicious notes of sponge cake.

    Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

    Nose

    Sponge cake, vanilla, a lawn mown in the summer, icing sugar.

    Palate

    Victoria sponge without the jam, vanilla custard and a hint of wood-spice.

    Finish

    Sweet and satisfying.

    Overall

    This whisky jumps out of the glass with its sweetness whilst still maintaining a freshness about it.

    A very pleasant dram indeed.

    Where I live anything from this distillery is almost impossible to find, I tried a Gordon and Mcphail independent bottling while in Scotland about a year ago and was very impressed. I happened upon a bottle of this at a shop in Oregon for $55 and bought it without hesitation. At first it was a little fumey and harsh but after about a week it has become such a light, delicate, beautiful whisky. Not super complex but there's definitely vanilla, flowers, bit of sweet orange peel, and a nice honey finish. Very smooth and light an excellent warm weather dram really top notch spirit. Cheers! The Sugarbear

    Mellow spring

    What a great bottle. It's amazing how light this scotch is, but how the flavours stand out. Smells like a green apple, tastes like a sweet honey melon with some spice accents and citrus notes. Great summer scotch.
