A fantastically full bodied Balblair, which has seen a quarter of a century of ageing. The Highlander was initially matured in American oak bourbon casks, before it was then transferred for a second ageing period in Spanish oak butts. The single malt was finally bottled at the age of 25 years at 46% ABV, sporting all those delicious characteristic Balblair notes of orange and apricot.
Indulgent overripe apricots and dark liquorice stand out against polished oak and a touch of saddle wax.
Full-bodied with oily citrus, chocolate praline and a faint note of fresh tobacco leaf.
Warming with smooth chocolate and blood oranges.

I got gifted a decanter of this when I got married in 2007 from a friend who works at a distillery. I decided to opened it on 14/8/2021. I only started drinking whisky a couple of years ago. I didn’t know what whisky the decanter contained, it was engraved only with wedding details. I then decided to ask my friend if she could remember what was in it & she sure could. Glad I didn’t put anything in it, didn’t need it. It was very nice. A bit overpriced though in my opinion though, even with £40 off.
Offered at £385 (£100 off) for three days, 0% claimed. Says it all. I hope Balblair can eat humble pie as I would certainly like our relationship to return to where it was before they got all premium and snubbed their loyal fan base!
Wooow, a flash sale. Now the price is no longer ridiculous, but only totally absurd.
Exactly! That's right ! Fun-price!
It's probably still very good whisky but at four times the price of the old 1991 26 year old I'm unlikely to ever try it.
