Entertaining, nice sweet and herbal quality, very volatile in the glass, phenolic – that touch of peat is very present and prominent. Green fruits and waxy pine and herb leaves. 83/100
Balblair 7 Years Old Batch 1

Balblair 2000 Vintage 2nd Release
A great balance between distillate and sherry cask maturation, with fruits, spice and tannic wood. 86/100
Balblair 2005 Vintage 1st Release
A second bottling of Balblair 2005 Vintage 1st Release released 2017, slightly sweeter in presentation perhaps? 84/100
