Distilled in 2001 and matured in American oak ex-bourbon casks, this Balblair is non-chill-filtered and bottled without the addition of caramel colouring.
Founded in 1790 by John Ross, Balblair is the second oldest working distillery in Scotland. It lies in the Northern Highlands on the shores of the Dornoch Firth in the village of Edderton, which incidentally tales its name from the ancient settlement of Eadar Dun, meaning 'between the forts'. The distillery sources its water from the Allt Dearg burn which flows from the hills where the said forts stood.

Clear, light golden.
Honeyed leathery nose with aromas of fudge, pear and zesty orange and lemon.
Oily first then spice flavours dominate the full-bodied, green apple skin and leather palate with vanilla, toffee and citrus flavours.
Spicy, fudge finish with lingering red pepper heat.
