Balblair 18YO 46% 700ml
Estimated delivery between May 09 and May 11.
Balblair capture the intense esters at the start of the spirit generating the core characteristics of apricots, oranges, spices, floral notes and green apples. The heavier oils and lipids at the end of the cut are also captured, giving leathery, nutty and full-bodied characteristics.
The 18 year old is matured initially in American oak ex-bourbon casks, followed by first fill Spanish oak butts, which add depth and charisma. This is a rich autumnal whisky with aromas of rich toffee, baked pears and new leather, leading to a palate of juicy apricots, seasoned oak and vanilla custard. The finish is long and raisiny.
