Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 462 : Balblair 16 Year Old 2006 Hand Bottled at the Distillery

Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky blogger, tries a distillery exclusive. His buddy Marcel from the Netherlands visited the Balblair distillery some time ago and asked Mark if he could do him a favor with an exclusive hand-bottled malt. Of course Mark immediately agreed and let him bring such a bottle. And then to think that in September 2022 Mark will visit Balblair himself… Perhaps by that time it will be a different cask and he can return the favor. The label does not mention a cask type, but judging by the color, this may have been a bourbon barrel.
