Balblair 1999 2nd Release 70cl, 46%

Description

Balblair 1999 2nd Release 70cl 46% is a vintage Highland single malt Scotch whisky from the historic Balblair Distillery, founded in 1790 in the northern Highlands of Scotland.

Distilled in 1999, this expression forms part of Balblair’s well-known vintage series, where whiskies are released according to their distillation year rather than a standard age statement. The 2nd Release represents a later stage of maturation compared to the first release, allowing the whisky to develop greater depth and complexity.

Matured primarily in American oak ex-bourbon casks, with additional maturation influence from Spanish oak sherry casks, the whisky displays layers of orchard fruits, honey, vanilla, and citrus alongside richer notes of dried fruits and gentle spice.

Bottled at 46% ABV, and presented with natural colour and without chill filtration, Balblair 1999 2nd Release offers a refined and well-balanced Highland single malt.
