Product description
The youngest officially bottled Balblair from more than a quarter of a century ago, now a jewel in every collection. The whisky was intended exclusively for the Italian market.
In the 1970s and 1980s, Italians were into young single malts , and the 5-year-old Balblair stood up to its competitors, Aberlour and Glen Grant. At the time, Balblair was the backbone of Ballantine's blends , as the label emphasises.
Aroma: fresh, slightly alcoholic, with notes of vanilla, pear candy and lemongrass.
Taste: spicy, a bit of cloves, cinnamon and oak.
Finish: rather short, warming, spicy.
