BALBLAIR SCO SMALT 2005 92

Founded in 1790, Balblair is the oldest working distillery in the true heart of the Scottish Highlands. Here at Balblair, we believe in quality above all else. It is our hands-on approach that gives our whisky its distinctive taste and character. By storing our casks in traditional, earthen-floored dunnage warehouses, we ensure a perfect environment for slow and gentle maturation. The result is a whisky that is elegantly understated, yet quietly self-assured.

Tasting Notes:
Balblair 1999 2nd release is copper in appearance with flecks of sparkling bronze. The American oak, ex-bourbon barrels, and Spanish oak, ex-sherry butts used for maturation impart the signature Balblair aromas of honey and green apples, as well as notes of rich, fruity Christmas cake with a hint of spice, citrus fruits, and vanilla. On the palate, it is full-bodied, sweet and spicy in character, with hints of honey, vanilla, and leather. The finish is warm, smooth and long-lasting.
