Descripción

Balblair, the oldest distillery in the Northern Highlands of Scotland since 1790, is situated on a secluded hillside overlooking the Dornoch Firth. This historic distillery sits on an ancient Pictish meeting place, guarded by the mystical Clach Biorach stone, whose Z-bar mark adorns every bottle of Balblair. Balblair’s whiskies are made from the Black Isle’s finest barley and pure water, perfectly capturing the flavors of the region.

Balblair 18 Years Old Highland Single Malt Whisky, also known as late-night whisky, impresses with its rich, autumnal fullness, reaching unexpected heights while remaining perfectly balanced and retaining the distillery’s bright, fruity character. Initially matured in ex-bourbon casks made from American oak, it gains its aromas through subsequent maturation in first-fill casks made from Spanish oak. The whisky is presented in its natural color and is not chill-filtered. (automated translation)
