Balblair 1969 Vintage

7 The Balblair bandwagon continues.
Balblair 1975 Vintage 2nd Release 37 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%

dashing. The perfect “herbal tea”.

a compelling range.

Balblair Elements
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00%
7 Gentle, but complex as the flavours open.
Dewar Rattray Balblair 1990
Single Malt - Scotland - 62.90%
7 The strength is a bit aggressive. And oak is not well-integrated. Tastes like a too young fellow.
Dewar Rattray Balblair 1990
Single Malt - Scotland - 61.80%
8 A rich multi layered whisky which, surprisingly, I enjoyed better without water. The latter enhances a bitter tone.
Dewar Rattray Balblair 1990 15 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 62.90%
7 The nose is more attractive than the palate, rather restrained.
Gordon & MacPhail Balblair 1966
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00%
7 The nose is rich and harmonious. The palate not so lavish, somewhat dulled by wood dominating. It would have shown better at a higher strength.
Private Collection Balblair 1973
Single Malt - Scotland - 45.00%
8 Elegant and uncomplicated. Refreshing and appetising. Hides its 50% ABV very well.
Single Malts of Scotland Balblair 40 Years Old
