Nose: Candied fruits with barley sugar twists, Lucky bag of sweets maybe? Some hints of coco and spice.
Palate: The fresh bourbon cask has played a blinder on this dram as rich creamy fruits mingle with some hints of chocolate covered raisins, the rounded mouth feel in this dram is just about perfect.
Finish: Its back to the candied fruits on the nose, some warm baked fruit cake with the most delicate hint of spice and rich chocolate, dusted bon bon’s, and red grapes.

Balblair / 2000 Vintage Single Cask #1350

Summary: Country/Region: Scotland/Highlands.
Unit: 70cl.
ABV: 57.9%
Age: 15 Year Old
Bottles Filled: 168
This exceptional cask is bursting with Balblair distillery character and in our opinion strikes excellent balance between the signature notes and its unique characteristics developed during fifteen years of maturation.
Lead by fresh and fruity aromas of green apples, oranges, lemons and peardrops, the nose develops rich notes of vanilla, toffee and hints of leather.
There is maturity and energy here, a true delight. On the palate there are concentrated fruity notes, with spice, vanilla and toffee. The long finish flickers from spices to honey sweetness.
John MacDonald, Balblair Distillery Manager has a short message for you: We are thrilled to be doing an exclusive bottling especially for you, the valued members of our mailing list whom we know appreciate not only the finer things in life, but also exclusivity.
