Balblair 12 ans is aged in ex-bourbon American oak barrels and double-heated American oak barrels.
No chill filtration for this Highland single malt whisky.
Florian's tasting notes
Spicy, fruity and exotic on the nose: pepper, ginger, coconut, pear, baked apple and vanilla bean. A toasty woodiness accompanies notes of banana crumble.
The palate is just as exotic, with vanilla and banana, a hint of toasted coconut and pineapple. A return of pepper and tannins gives it depth. Citrus fruit covers the finish.
The finish stretches on tannins and salty-sweet licorice.
"A Balblair that's sunny, spicy and exotic: two fine ingredients that give this juice a very drinkable relief in any circumstance."

Whisky very good and sweet, but there are better for less.
