About this deal

Final Thoughts: The nose is far more interesting, but it is a step above the 12-year-old. It has some harsh elements, but with a few drops of water they ease. On the other hand, water and ice numb any detectable flavor that is not oak. Personal tasting notes ( Official sample kindly provided by Balblair through Burt Greener Communications)

It’s this rich history and heritage that truly makes Balblair one of the jewels in the crown of Scottish whisky distilleries. Finish: A medium-long, mellow finish, with enduring notes of creamy vanilla and citrus led fruitiness, with warmth and a little dryness from enticing wood and spice. Today, this stone reflects our dedication to craftsmanship. We honour century-old traditions by distilling at our own naturally considered pace, creating a whisky that is warm, elegant, and understated. The taste is enduring and full of character, just like those who make it and those discerning enough to drink it.” Taste: A stylish, well-rounded, mouth feel. After an initial wave of creamy vanilla custard, sweet apple purée, dried fruit with a hint of bitter orange marmalade develop. This is followed up by a spicy ginger and cinnamon burr with a subtle light oak undertone. A good balance of fruit sweetness and spice.

PALATE: Dried apple rings, cinnamon and nutmeg spiciness and dried oak. Dark chocolate covered orange slices, red berries and summer fruit salad drizzled with honey. Delicious and rich. I so enjoyed the 15 yo that I finished my glass without even adding a bit of water.

When in 2006, the post of Distillery Manager became available at Balblair, John jumped at the chance. After all, this was his dream job, having always been a huge admirer of Balblair whisky, the distillery and its location.” Nose: Honey greets the nose at the beginning. Orange, reminiscent of marmalade, mingles with cinnamon almost like a picturesque breakfast of the best french toast. However, there is a small touch of acetone underlying the whisky. Clove and mint slip in at the end. Previously known for its practice of releasing vintage-dated rather than age-stated whiskies, Highlands whisky distillery Balblair has revamped its portfolio and fallen in line with just about everyone else, refocusing on traditional (and more easily sustainable) age statement products. The new line includes four single malts, replacing all existing Balblair expressions — though the distillery says the whisky hasn’t changed and remains as high in quality as ever.All these whisky expressions are well priced and easily compare to other high-end expressions for which you would pay considerably more. The elegant and approachable Balblair 12 Year Old is the first whisky in the Balblair Collection which has been matured in a combination of double-fired American oak casks and ex-bourbon casks. The result is a whisky with a warm, complex character and a sweet, citrusy aroma. The palate offers notes of oranges, honey and cinnamon before a long, creamy finish with hints of vanilla and leather.
