Balblair 1999 Highland Single Malt
Highland single malt distiller Balblair has released its 1999 vintage onto the market. Each Balblair vintage is personally selected by distillery manager John MacDonald and is only released when he deems it to have reached its peak. According to MacDonald, the copper-coloured drop, which has been aged in ex-Bourbon barrels and Sherry casks, offers aromas of “honey, green apples, citrus fruits, vanilla and Christmas cake”, while the palate provides “hints of honey, vanilla and leather with a warm, smooth, long-lasting finish”.
Gillian Gibson, the distiller’s global brand manager, comments: “With hints of refreshing green apple on the tongue, the 1999 vintage is the perfect whisky to enjoy over the summer months.”
RRP: £60
