Independently bottled Balblair single malt - not a common sight at all! This was distilled in June 2011 and initially matured in a sherry butt. It was finished in a Pedro Ximénez sherry hogshead before being bottled in October 2017 with an outturn of 306 bottles by A.D. Rattray.
A bit gristy, though plenty of chocolate raisin and grilled pineapple notes give it some richness.
More dried fruit! Hints of flaky pastry and clove.
A touch of burnt rye bread gives it an enjoyable bitterness on the finish.
Excellent!
Stimulated the conversation with good friends. Overwhelming majority support for Balblair 05 More popular than any political party
