Best of Balblair – 15 YO
On the bank of the Dornoch First sits one of Scotland’s oldest distilleries — Balblair. founded in 1790.
Its core collection comprises four age statements – the 12-, 15-, 18-, and 25-year-old. Below, are reviews of these whiskies.
12 YO
Quite bland in flavour, the 12-year-old is a good choice if making cocktails that call for scotch.
15 YO
Spice, leather, and dried fruit on the nose, with lemon, orange, milk chocolate, and hazelnuts on the rich, mouth-filling palate.
Of the aged statements from Balblair, the 15-year-old ranks as the top whisky in the collection.
18 YO
This whisky has some harsh elements, but with a few drops of water they ease.
25 YO
The 25-year-old whisky is better balanced than the 18-year-old. Out of the Balblair collection, this age statement comes in second place.
