Balblair 15 Year Old Single Malt Whisky
Balblair 15 Year Old is a Highland single malt of exceptional maturity and elegance. Crafted slowly and matured in traditional dunnage warehouses on earthen floors, this whisky begins its journey in American oak ex-bourbon casks before finishing in first-fill Spanish oak butts, allowing rich, layered flavours to develop while retaining the distillery’s signature freshness and vitality. Poured into the glass, it shows a bright amber colour. The nose is aromatic and inviting, with leatherwood honey, spicy gingerbread, juicy prunes and fresh lemon peel. The palate is velvety and round, revealing dark chocolate, tropical fruits and warming spices. The finish is long and mellow, with notes of creamy vanilla and gentle citrus that linger beautifully. Non-chill filtered and of natural colour, Balblair 15 Year Old exemplifies the distillery’s house style: a careful balance of fruity esters, floral notes, and full-bodied, nutty oils. With its tropical, chocolatey texture and refined, enduring finish, this expression is perfect for those seeking a sophisticated Highland single malt that rewards quiet admiration and thoughtful tasting.
Balvenie The Week of Peat 14 Year Old 48.3%
The story of how The Week of Peat 14 year old came around is when the distillery manager Ian Millar noticed a week's gap in the distillery schedule. Ever eager to experiment with The Balvenie profile he ordered a batch of Speyside peat for the kiln and built a peat burner on the side 'for, well, peatiness...'. For one week only every year, The Balvenie distills a batch of peated malt, resulting in a whisky that is rich in honey, vanilla and citrus notes with an extra layer of delicate smokiness. On the nose it is gentle, sweet peat smoke, light floral notes and a delicate butterscotch honey to suit. On the palate it is velvety and round to taste with the peat smoke balancing citrus notes, oaky vanilla and blossom honey. The finish is kind and gentle with smoke and a lingering creamy vanilla sweetness.
