Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine – the deep golden colour on the distillery’s website is a tad optimistic

air Nose

starts with whiffs of slightly soapy oak and vanilla but it’s soon to become more floral and honeyed, with added hints of apple pie and black tea. Also fresh apples, apple skin… There’s also a faint dustiness in the background. No extravagant fruitiness in this young version that has nothing to do with the exuberant old Balblairs

restaurant Palate

much more presence now, with more ‘young’ fruits. Apples again, ripe gooseberries, oranges, vanilla crème and touches of cinnamon and white pepper. Pleasant body, not thin at low strength

timer Finish

a little short but clean and pleasantly honeyed
