Balblair 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky – 70cl
The most mature and most richly complex expression in the Balblair age-stated range — and the one that most fully demonstrates what eighteen years in a combination of ex-bourbon, ex-sherry, and port casks achieves with this distillery's elegantly fruit-forward Highland spirit. The port cask influence — absent from the younger expressions — adds a distinctive vivid berry depth and a warming sweetness to the darker, more fruit-driven character that the sherry casks provide, producing a whisky of considerably greater complexity and richness than the 12 and 15 Year Old. Non-chill filtered and bottled at 46% ABV with natural colour, the Balblair 18 Year Old is an impressively accomplished and generously flavoured aged Highland single malt, available to buy online in Singapore from The Liquid Collection — an ideal gift for the serious whisky enthusiast.
TASTING NOTES
Balblair 18 Year Old is the third whisky in the Balblair Collection and has been matured in ex-bourbon casks before being finished in first-fill Spanish oak butts. The result is a charismatic single malt with a rich toffee and pear aroma, with a hint of warm spices and leather. The palate offers notes of ripe apricots and raisins balanced by toasted oak and vanilla custard, before a long, warming finish filled with hints of cinnamon and nutmeg.
