Balblair 17 Year Old
Single malt whisky Balblair 17 Year Old comes from one of the oldest continuously operating distilleries in Scotland, founded in 1790 in the Highlands region.
Balblair Distillery is renowned for its traditional methods, slow distillation, and strong focus on the quality of casks, which play a key role in the whisky’s maturation.
This 17-year-old expression is first matured in American oak ex-bourbon casks, which impart creamy notes of vanilla, caramel, and sweet fruit. The whisky is then finished in European oak ex-sherry casks, adding greater depth, complexity, gentle spice, and subtle hints of dried fruit and nuts.
Bottled at 46 % ABV without chill filtration, it retains a full flavor profile and a natural texture.
On the nose and palate, Balblair 17 Year Old is well-balanced, smooth, and sophisticated. Fruity sweetness is interwoven with vanilla, honey, delicate spice, and a touch of oak.
The finish is long, warming, and elegant, with lingering notes of dried fruit and spice. It is a whisky that appeals both to experienced single malt enthusiasts and to those seeking a mature yet approachable style.
