Balblair 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 50ml

Balblair 18 Year Old is a Highland single malt from Balblair Distillery in Edderton, presented here as a 50ml miniature. It is matured first in American oak ex-bourbon casks for brightness and vanilla, then in first-fill ex-sherry butts that add depth and dried fruit, while keeping the distillery's fresh, fruity character. Bottled at 46% ABV with natural colour and without chill filtration, it is an easy way to try one of Balblair's older age statements.

Tasting Notes: Apricot, pear, crème anglaise, oak, plum and baking spice.

Nose: Pear tarte Tatin with crème anglaise and a warm note of new leather.

Palate: Juicy apricots, seasoned oak and crème anglaise.

Finish: Plums, raisins and fresh baking spices that linger.

Serve: Neat, or with a few drops of water.
