Balblair 21 Year Old at Loch Fyne Whiskies – Scotch Whisky News
October 10th, 2023
Balblair 21 Year Old
Balblair’s newest addition to its core selection, the 21 Year Old, is a whisky of distinction. It spent 15 years maturing in American Oak ex-bourbon and double-fired American oak casks before finding its final form in Spanish oak Oloroso wine casks for the remaining six years. The result? A spiced, fruity profile with a deep, rich color, bottled at 46% abv.
Our Hamish has had a sip and jotted down his thoughts.
Nose: pineapple, apricots, aromatic cinnamon, nutmeg, toffee apples and honey.
Palate: intense tropical flavours with mango and pineapple layered with warming notes of cloves and ginger.
Finish: long and lingering, with dark chocolate.
