Chorlton Whisky Balblair 16yo 271 bottles 55.8% 70cl

Balblair distillery sits on a remote and unspoiled hillside overlooking the Dornoch Firth in the North of Scotland.  Their single malt is the product of the patience and dedication of their hands-on craftspeople, who won’t settle for anything than the best for Balblair.  Never rushed and never compromised. From the exceptionally long 62 hour fermentation and the 4 1/2 hours of extremely slow distillation, it is this measured and thoughtful approach which means they harness time to create the flavour of their unique new make spirit. Balblair single malt Scotch whisky is intriguingly complex and satisfying capturing the intense esters at the start of the spirit cut to give their whisky the core characteristics of apricots, oranges, spices, floral notes and green apples. The heavier oils and lipids at the end of the cut are also captured, giving leathery,nutty and full-bodied characteristics. This 16 year old single malt old offering was bottled from a hogshead. It is uncoloured and Natural Cask Strength at 55.8% One of only 271 bottles.
