The Balblair 12yo is a highly regarded entry-level expression from one of the oldest Scottish distilleries, located in the Highlands region. This 12-year-old single malt whisky is matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and double-fired American oak casks, resulting in a complex and approachable dram with a creamy and fruit-forward character.
The palate offers a delightful balance of sweet and citrusy flavors, including honey, orange, and vanilla, followed by a touch of winter spice. The whisky boasts a golden hue and entices the senses with an aroma of zesty lemon citrus peel, creamy vanilla, and a hint of green apple.
As the whisky flows over the palate, it reveals an initial burst of warm, aromatic spices, followed by an intense wave of honeyed dried fruit, accented by notes of sun-dried orange peel. The long-lasting, creamy finish is complemented by a subtle hint of toasted oak and sweet vanilla.
Bottled at 46% ABV, the Balblair 12yo is a testament to the distillery's commitment to excellence, offering a brilliantly balanced expression that perfectly encapsulates the Balblair style. This whisky is sure to captivate both seasoned enthusiasts and newcomers alike, inviting them to explore the rich and diverse world of single malt Scotch whisky.
