finish
Creamy vanilla arrives first, then bright citrus which carries into the next sip
First, American oak ex-bourbon casks for brightness and vanilla cream. Then first-fill ex-sherry oak butts for spice, depth, and intense colour.

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.
