Balblair 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky – 70cl, 46% ABV

A Rich and Autumnal Late-Night Dram

The Balblair 18 Year Old is a beautifully matured Highland single malt, designed as a rich, autumnal "late-night" expression that takes the distillery’s signature bright and fruity character to deeper, more complex heights. Aged to perfection, this whisky is a stunning balance of elegance and depth, delivering a refined experience with every sip.

A Masterful Maturation Process

Balblair’s meticulous approach to whisky-making ensures a perfectly balanced spirit, capturing the intense esters at the start of the spirit cut to infuse the whisky with vibrant notes of apricots, oranges, and green apples. At the same time, heavier oils and lipids from the later cut add layers of leather, nuts, and spice, resulting in a complex and satisfying dram.

Matured in ex-bourbon casks and first-fill Spanish oak butts, the whisky gains additional depth, enhancing its natural fruity brightness with rich, warm notes of dried fruit, toffee, and dark chocolate.

Tasting Notes

• Nose – A luscious combination of dried apricots, orange zest, and warm baking spices, followed by hints of vanilla and toasted oak.
• Palate – Velvety and full-bodied, with layers of rich toffee, dark chocolate, and spiced oak. The fruity brightness of green apples and citrus intertwines beautifully with deeper notes of nuts and leather.
• Finish – Long, warming, and sophisticated, with lingering sherried sweetness, gentle spice, and a touch of oak tannin.
