BALBLAIR 25 YEAR OLD
Pleasure, concentrated over 25 years. Mouth-coating ripe citrus, giving way to warm chocolate praline dusted with baking spices. The body of our 25 year-old Single Malt Scotch Whisky remains indulgently full to the last.
TASTING NOTES

Hot copper

Dark liquorice with perfectly ripe apricots. Opening up to a hint of beeswax and warm leather
palate

finish
Cinnamon warmth, then blood orange dipped in dark chocolate
Matured in American oak ex-bourbon casks then Spanish oak ex-sherry butts. Both gift flavour, colour and depth; neither dominates.

CRAFTED IN SMALL BATCHES
Our intimate distillery has just one mash tun, one wash still and one spirit still. This means Balblair Single Malt Scotch Whisky can only be crafted in small batches.
What some may see as a constraint, we view as a gift.
Working batch-by-batch affords us time to capture the intensity of the early spirit – bringing aromas of pineapple, mango and baking spice. Then, we wait: Balblair’s full-bodied tobacco leaf, dark chocolate and rich nuttiness only arrive towards the end of the cut.
For maturation, each cask is hand-selected by Sarah Burgess, our Master of Whisky Creation. One at a time, naturally.
