Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

this one is very expressive at first nosing, all on flowers, fruits and slightly yeasty/mashy notes. Wild flowers, dandelions, butter pears, apple juice, gooseberries, vanilla-flavoured yoghurt, hints of tangerines and just touches of oak... Very ‘natural’ in these days when many whiskies get sort of flavoured (let’s not start...) Fresh and eminently ‘likable’

restaurant Palate

light but not weak, fresh but maybe a little less clean than on the nose... Comes back into the line a little more as far as the palate is concerned but it’s still excellent malt whisky. Faint kirschy notes but good body, with a pleasant spiciness arising after a moment (white pepper and cinnamon)

timer Finish

rather long, all on pears and soft spices. Again, very good ‘natural’ whisky, with a true taste of the Highlands (if that makes any sense). 85 points (more for the nose). Balblair 1979 (46%, OB, 15 casks, 2006) We’ve heard that this one is now almost sold out. Yes we’re late
