Description
Balblair 12 Year Old is the foundation of the Highland distillery’s age-statement core range, relaunched in 2019. Crafted at the Balblair Distillery, one of Scotland’s oldest, founded in 1790, this single malt is a true testament to traditional methods. Matured in a combination of American oak ex-bourbon barrels and ‘double-fired’ American oak casks, this expression boasts a clean, honest character. It is bottled at a robust 46% ABV, non-chill filtered, and maintains its natural colour, a mark of quality that lovers of premium whisky in South Africa appreciate.
The cask combination is designed to deliver creamy vanilla and honeyed notes while accentuating the distillery’s signature fruity spirit. It is an approachable yet complex dram, an excellent choice for a refined weeknight sip. We recommend enjoying this 750ML bottle neat or with a few drops of water to fully open its profile.
Tasting Profile:
- Nose: Waxy citrus peel, sponge cake, soft cedar and a hint of nutmeg.
- Palate: Juicy red apple and cooked pear, with honey and barley developing.
- Finish: Lingering honey with milky tea and sultana.
