Balblair A Spirit of the Air Whisky 16 Year Old

Colour

Sunlit gold with warm honey-amber depths and a coppery glint.

Nose

Bright citrus zest and orchard fruits mingle with vanilla and a touch of honey, lifted by a whisper of sherry. Pear and green apple drift over delicate oak, while almond and soft spice add an elegant, airy depth that hints at Balblair’s refined spirit.

Palate

A 16-year-old Balblair unfolds with a silky, medium-bodied palate. A citrus-bright core gives way to honeyed sweetness, with dried apricot and sultana, then almonds and vanilla. Sherry influence adds depth—raisin, fig, a touch of cocoa—woven through soft oak and spice. The finish is clean and lingering, with citrus zest and a kiss of toasted nut.

Finish

Long, satin finish of dried orange zest, honeyed apple and almond, laced with sherry richness. Subtle oak spice warms the palate, yielding cocoa and malt, with a final airy drift that lingers gracefully, like a breeze over a quiet harbor.
