The Balblair 21yo is a distinguished single malt whisky that forms an integral part of Balblair Distillery's Age Statement Range, under the ownership of InverHouse Distillers. Balblair, one of Scotland's oldest distilleries, was established in 1749 and significantly modernized post-1948 under Robert Cumming's ownership, who added a visitor center and tours. The distillery also gained fame as a key location in the 2012 movie 'The Angels' Share'. This exquisite 21-year-old whisky was matured for 15 years in American Oak Ex-Bourbon barrels before being finished for an additional 6 years in hand-selected Spanish Oak casks seasoned with Oloroso Wine. This meticulous maturation process imparts a distinctive character to the whisky, characterized by rich spiced fruity flavors and a deep, appealing color. The aroma of the Balblair 21yo offers an inviting bouquet of pineapple, apricots, cinnamon, nutmeg, toffee apples, and honey. The palate is a tropical delight, revealing intense flavors of mango, pineapple, cloves, and ginger, underpinned by a sweet honeyed note. The finish is long and lingering with hints of dark chocolate, making each sip a memorable experience. Bottled at 46% ABV, this 700ml expression is a hallmark of the Highland region's whisky craftsmanship.
