A 17-year-old Highland single malt bottled by independent bottler Decadent Drams, this Balblair is a single cask release from the 2008 vintage and bottled at a robust 56.5% ABV. As a single cask whisky, it is likely to show a more individual character than a larger batch release.
For a novice drinker, expect a fuller-strength whisky that may benefit from a little water to open it up. Its age suggests a balance between distillery character and cask influence, with the intensity and texture often associated with cask-strength single malt.
