Product description

Product description
This 17-year-old Balblair Single Malt matured in ex-bourbon casks and first-fill oak butts from Spain, which shaped its depth and flavour character. The whisky was bottled without chill-filtering and in its natural colour.

The Distillery: Balblair

Balblair is one of the most northern distilleries of Scottland. It lies right next to the Dornoch Firth and was established in 1790. The distillery character is best described as 'very fruity and sweet Speyside Malt'. Balblair means fertile valley, but also battlefield. This is traceable to a battle between the Picts and the Vikings many centuries ago. read more

    Aroma: Oak Dark Chocolate Sherry Sweet Spices

    Geschmack: Sherry Berries Honey

    Abgang: Oak Nuts Sherry Citrus

    Kommentar: Mindestens auf Augenhöhe mit dem 18er. Balblair ist mit 15 Jahren aufwärts immer eine Empfehlung. Vollkommen unterbewertet als Destille.
