Description

We've bottled up this cracking nine-year-old Balblair single malt, especially for our exclusive Master of Malt collection! Founded in 1790, Balblair is one of Scotland's oldest distilleries, tucked away in the rugged, mountainous landscape of the northern Highlands. Today, only a small amount of the distillery's output is released as single malt, but thankfully, indie bottlers like yours truly are still able to get their hands on impressive expressions like this. A release of 309 bottles.

Ground almonds, cinnamon swirls, and hazelnut cream horns.

Palate

Creamy notes of foam bananas and vanilla custard, with vibrant malt leading to powerful chilli and black pepper spice.

Finish

Things remain crisp on the finish, with a hint of brine and a sprinkle of cocoa.

Reviews for Balblair 9 Year Old 2009 (Master of Malt)

Sort by

Cracker for the price

For the money, I thought this was great. Agree with the other comment about a slack lack of complexity, but for what it was I really enjoyed it. Soft sweet start, followed by a robust-but-not-overwhelming alcohol hit, that then mellows into nice citrus spice, with enough on the finish to keep it interesting.

Lemon sherbet

Has a strong taste of boiled lemon sherbet sweets. Very hot and not particular complex but at £45 for a cask strength, non-chillfiltered, age stated Balblair you can't go wrong. Especially if you like lemon sherbets!
