BALBLAIR 15 YEAR OLD SINGLE MALT SCOTCH WHISKY 46% 700ML

BALBLAIR 15 YEAR OLD SINGLE MALT SCOTCH WHISKY 46% 700ML 

This Balblair aged 15 years is part of the newly launched core range from this old distillery. The distillery decided to sat goodbye to Vintages and move to age statements. Smart move in a market that is losing age statements every day. This expression of Balblair was first matured in ex-Bourbon American oak casks then it was transferred into first fill Spanish oak butts. Not so much of a finish but a maturation. A big bold whisky with heaps of fruit and chocolate flavours.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Honey sweetness with poached apples and a zesty fresh approach. There is some heaviness to the whisky with chocolate, dates and walnuts and a slight espresso aroma.

Taste: Dried apricots, raisins and sultanas, almond and stewed apples. Dark chocolate leads to ginger and orange.

Finish: Cocoa, old oak, the dates return and there’s caramel sweetness.
