In the fine balance of fruit, spice and sweetness, Balblair 12 Year Old encapsulates the gentle charisma of the Highlands. Elegant and approachable, this is the defining expression of Balblair Distillery, one to which all others refer. In a way, all Balblair journeys start here. - John MacDonald Distillery Manager. Polish gold. Elegant and bright lemon peel aromas layered with vanilla and crisp green creamy apples. On the palate, ground spices and dried orange slices enveloped in intense set honey sweetness. Creamy and leathery with notes of sweet vanilla on the finish.

This expression was created from a mash that by law had to be no lower than 51% rye; following distillation it was aged in new charred oak barrels for 10 years. The result is aromas of sweet vanilla, oak and a touch of light fruit are followed by the taste is of spice, oak, hints of caramel, tobacco and warm cinnamon.
