Balblair 1989

Balblair 1989: absolutely amazing wiskey. Very, very smooth with honey notes and a hint of citrus. Excelent nose. Never heard of it before but it's great.

Mid-amber in appearance with honey-gold highlights, this Balblair 1989 is a full-bodied malt with rich aromas of raisin, green apple and hints of banana and lemon. The American oak barrels, used in the distillate's maturation, lend a memorable warm toffee, vanilla fragrance.

On the palate the typical Balblair characteristics are abundant. Ripe fruits fuse with a hint of sherry-drenched raisins. Together with a rich spiciness there is a distinctive long, complex and ultimately smooth finish.

Appearance: Mid-amber with honey-gold highlights.
Aroma: Full-bodied with raisin, green apple and hints of banana and lemon.
Palate: Raisins and fruits with a rich spiciness.
Finish: Long, complex and ultimately smooth finish.
