Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep amber-gold with copper highlights and a warm mahogany edge, a sunlit, honeyed glow that hints at sherry maturation.

Nose

Cinnamon spice opens to stewed plum and delicate sherbet aromas, a warm, dessert-like bouquet with a refined, inviting perfume.

Palate

Toasted malt opens the palate, giving way to light fruitcake and a hint of cashew nut.

Finish

Traces of aniseed and dried ginger linger, a warm, peppery fade that coats the palate with gentle spice long after the last drop.

Balblair
(bal-BLAIR) Balblair was founded in 1790 by John Ross at Edderton in the Northern Highlands, overlooking the Dornoch Firth. The distillery remained with the Ross family through much of the 19th century, before being rebuilt in 1894 closer to the railway while continuing to use water from the Allt Dearg burn. Later owners included Hiram Walker, and Inver House Distillers acquired Balblair in 1996.
