Balblair 1969 31 Year Old 70cl 45%

Description

Following the Balblair 1965, the distillery has dug deep into their stocks and uncovered some single malt Scotch whisky which was distilled in 1969! It was bottled in 2012 after spending 43 years in ex-bourbon remade hogsheads. 999 bottles of this extraordinary whisky were produced. Nose: Smoke and spice waft up, with apples, pear drops and a subtle mint note. Palate: Complex and rewarding, it begins with the fruit sweetness of oranges, apples and bananas. This is followed by oak spices, warming up the palate for the smoky vanilla that comes afterwards. Finish: The finish lasts and lasts. The apple notes continue to linger.
