Balblair 12 Year Old – Single Malt Scotch Whisky (70cl, 46% ABV)

The Quintessential Highland Expression

The Balblair 12 Year Old is an elegant and approachable whisky that perfectly encapsulates the gentle charisma of the Highlands. Matured in a combination of American oak ex-bourbon barrels and double-fired American oak casks, this core range expression is the foundation of Balblair’s whisky-making excellence.

Renowned for its meticulous distillation process, Balblair captures both the bright, fruity esters at the start of the cut and the heavier, richer oils at the end. The result? A harmonious balance of fresh vibrancy and deep complexitythat defines Balblair’s signature style.
