We’re thrilled to announce our first tasting for March, hosted by the fine folks at Balblair. Distillery Manager John MacDonald will be on hand to guide us through a variety of their vintage bottlings.

Balblair choose to bottle their whisky by year rather than the more common age statement, so we’ll be travelling through time with John as we go through their range. The whisky is known for its delicate style, with fresh summer fruits and citrus popping up frequently in the flavour profile.

We’ll be kicking off with Balblair’s light and fruity 2002 vintage, then heading back through time with the new releases of the 1997, 1989 and 1975 vintages, before trying their oldest vintage – the 1965. We’re also lucky enough to be getting a taste of the 1990 vintage bottling – an intriguing whisky matured in a cask that previously held smoky Islay whisky – usually available exclusively to members of the distillery’s Gathering Place society.

This is a must for both existing fans of Balblair and those looking to experience the distillery’s whiskies for the first time – a tasting across their entire range, including some rarities that you’ll struggle to find elsewhere.

The tasting will take place at TWE Vinpolis on Monday 4th March at 7:30pm.

Tickets are priced at £30 and will go on sale on Tuesday 19th February at 3pm.

As ever, tickets are sold on a first come, first served basis and are limited to two per customer. You can book your place at the tasting by phoning the shop on 020 7403 8688 or by calling in person.
