Blablair 2000 Vintage 2nd Release
£70.00

New Arrivals

Blablair / 2000 Vintage 2nd Release
Blablair 2000 Vintage 2nd Release

£70.00
Country: Scotland
Region: Highlands
Age: 
Strength: 

Summary: COUNTRY/REGION: Scotland/Highlands.
DISTILLERY: Balblair.
BOTTLER: Distillery Bottling.
BOTTLING SERIE: 2nd Release.
VINTAGE: 2000
BOTTLED: 2018
CASK TYPE: Spanish Oak Butts Finish.
STRENGTH: 46% Vol.
SIZE: 700 ml.
The second release of Vintage 2000 is bright copper in appearance.
The nose is full bodied with aromas of seasoned oak, baked red apples and fruitcake, followed by warming vanilla and ripe tropical stone fruits. Rich and balanced, this classic Balblair nose tells the story of its charismatic spirit and perfect ageing.
On the palate, the whisky is slightly oily in texture. Ground spices and old hardwood strike first chords in this elegant and rewarding dram, building up to brighter flavours of tinned pineapples, bitter orange peel and honey.
The finish builds up slowly with lasting sweetness, creaminess and notes of bitter chocolate.

Blablair / 1991 Vintage 3rd Release
Blablair 1991 Vintage 3rd Release

£125.00
Country: Scotland
Region: Highlands
Age: 
Strength: 

Summary: COUNTRY/REGION: Scotland/Highlands.
DISTILLERY: Balblair.
BOTTLER: Distillery Bottling.
BOTTLING SERIE: 3rd Release.
VINTAGE: 1991
BOTTLED: 2017
CALCULATED AGE: 27 years old.
CASK TYPE: Ex-Bourbon & 1st Fill Sherry Butts.
STRENGTH: 46% Vol.
SIZE: 700 ml.
The 3rd release of Vintage 1991 is bright amber in colour with rose gold highlights.
The nose is expansive and complex with rich citrus fruits and vanilla notes, toffee and chocolate. The American oak ex-bourbon barrels and Spanish oak butts used in the maturation impart notes of honey, winter spices and apricot with just a hint of liquorice in the background.
On the palate Balblair’s signature style of citrus orchard is followed with rich creamy chocolate and layers of stewed apples and pears, Christmas pudding and hot vanilla sauce. The finish descends slowly into brighter tonality, sparkling orange and toasted coconut overtones, accentuating full-bodied sweetness of vanilla and caramel. A rich and celebratory dram.

£200.00
Country: Indian
Region: Indian
Age: 
Strength: 50.%
70cl

Summary: COUNTRY/REGION: India/Goa.
DISTILLERY: John Distilleries.
BOTTLER: Distillery Bottling.
NUMBER OF BOTTLES: 1500
STRENGTH: 50% Vol.
SIZE: 700 ml.
ABV: 50%.
Unit: 70cl.
NOSE: deft acacia and heather-honey mingle contentedly with the heavier oaky notes to offer a subdued sweetness but one which compliments the intense malt perfectly;
TASTE: AH…! Those honeys are unleashed early on, seemingly free of their oaky shackles and help drive the salivating qualities of the barley through the roof; excellent oils with a gentle liquorice and hickory. A little citrus darts around but very much hanging on to the coat-tails of the malt;
FINISH: long, thanks to those never-ending oils. Even towards the finale there is still Manuka honey to be found with sub-strata of soft caramel taking the sting out of gathering spice;
PALATE: when a distillery can find honey at the very end of its flavour range and profile, you know they have cracked it. Superb!
Ratings: 96 Points and Asian Whisky of the Year / Jim Murray's 2018 Whisky Bible.
