Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich amber-gold with sunlit honey tones and a warm coppery glow, deep and inviting.
Nose
Spiced stewed red apples lead the aroma, unfolding into coconut and soft vanilla, mingling with sponge cake and creme patisserie. A delicate thread of wood spice and golden syrup lingers, settled in a layer of creamy oak.
Palate
Spiced stewed red apple, coconut and soft vanilla unfold with sponge cake and crème pâtissière. Subtle wood spice threads through golden syrup into creamy oak, delivering a luxurious, full-bodied sweetness with elegant, lingering depth that marks Balblair’s remarkable 32-year evolution.
Finish
Long, velvety finish with warming spice and orchard sweetness. Red apple notes linger, harmonizing with creamy vanilla, crème pâtissière and a touch of wood spice, all wrapped in creamy oak that persists with refined, silky length.
