Balblair 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky Tasting Notes

Nose: Apple pie with raisins: the top is dotted with caramelised filling that’s bubbled up while cooking. Marzipan hints become full-on fruit cake with royal icing – old school Christmas cake.

Palate: Soft, rounded and sweet, with spice and darker, singed notes building. Buttery sponge turns dark and fruity as Christmas-cake fruit and spice builds. Raisins and charred oak provide a backdrop for burnt sugar and fruity dark chocolate.

Finish: Charred staves and rich dunnage warehouse earthiness fade to leave cinnamon and raisins.

Distillery Information

Balblair Distillery is a Scotch whisky distillery located in Edderton, Ross-shire, Scotland. Founded in 1790, the distillery was rebuilt in 1895 by the designer Charles C Doig to be closer to the Edderton Railway Station on the Inverness and Ross-shire Railway line. However, so good was the original water source that the rebuilt distillery chose to ignore a nearby burn in favour of the original Ault Dearg burn. To this day, the Balblair Distillery continues to use this original water source.
