Balblair 18 Year Old

Balblair 18 is made at Balblair Distillery in Edderton, Ross-shire, in the Scottish Highlands. Balblair was established in 1790, making it one of Scotland's oldest working distilleries.

Balblair 18 is commonly described as matured in ex-bourbon American oak and finished or further matured in Spanish oak butts. That gives it orchard fruit, spice, toffee, and dried-fruit notes without becoming as heavy as a full sherry bomb.

No. Balblair is a Highland single malt, even though some of its fruit-and-spice profile can appeal to Speyside drinkers.

Balblair 18 is older and generally richer, with more oak spice and dried-fruit depth. Balblair 15 is usually a brighter step in the core age-statement range that Balblair introduced after moving away from vintage-dated releases.
