Balblair 2005 - 1st Release

This is the first release of 2005 vintage Balblair single malt Scotch whisky (which is replacing the 2003 vintage in their core range). An enjoyable expression from the Northern Highlands distillery, matured in American oak ex-bourbon barrels and of course is presented in Balblair's very recognisable bottles.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose

Classic Balblair nose of oak-y vanilla, chocolate-y malt and light wisps of smoke.

Palate

Citrus blossom (and citrus peels) mixed with hints of barrel char spice and treacle tarts.

Finish

Fresh and spiced, with a little more floral malt.

Just OK

Loved the 1999 2nd release. This is not as good. This batch has sulphur which is a turn off to me.

Great covenant?!

I stocked up ... Yes, dozens of bottle!

Master of Malt Customer Feb 27, 2020

Excellent

What about wonderfully drammmmmmm with sublime scents that slowly come out slowly as the whiskey blends with the palate. Taste slowly. To be had absolutely, even just for the presentation of the balblair.

Master of Malt Customer Nov 3, 2019

Very very disappointing

Really can't follow the common taste here, it's rough, it's sharp, it burns and if the burn has gone, there's nothing left. Monday bottling perhaps, but there's lotsa better things out there for less. I own about a couple of dozens of scotch' but this is one of the worst.

Worth every penny

Yes one of the best smooth when opened with a smidgen of water a fine dram indeed
