Balblair 18 Year Old Single Malt Whisky
Balblair 18 Year Old is a Highland single malt of remarkable depth and autumnal richness. Slowly crafted and matured in traditional dunnage warehouses on earthen floors, it begins in American oak ex-bourbon casks before finishing in first-fill Spanish oak butts, adding elegance, complexity and the distillery’s signature bright, fruity character. The whisky pours an oiled cedar colour, with a nose that combines rich toffee and baked pears against a backdrop of supple new leather. On the palate, juicy apricots, seasoned oak and vanilla custard create a masterful balance, while the finish is long and warming, enriched with fresh spices and raisin notes. Non-chill filtered and of natural colour, Balblair 18 Year Old exemplifies the distillery’s house style: capturing the core esters, floral notes and fruity oils at the heart of the spirit while embracing the full-bodied, nutty complexity that develops through slow maturation. This expression is perfect for connoisseurs seeking a sophisticated, well-rounded Highland single malt with elegance and character.
Bunnahabhain 18 Year Old
A welcoming fragrant nose releases honeyed nuts and a slightly sea-induced salty tang. Rich toffee and leathery oak aromas can be sensed upon further inspection. Beautifully balanced, the palate is influenced by mellow sherried nuts and shavings of the finest natural oak wood. The voyage ends on dry notes that are interspersed with mixed spices fading.
