Balblair 1983 Scotch 750 ml

Balblair 1983 is a vintage-dated single malt Scotch from Balblair Distillery in the Highlands, part of the distillery's distinctive practice of releasing whisky by vintage year rather than a standard age statement. A 1983 vintage represents a significant number of years in cask, drawing out deep oak and dried fruit character. Expect honeyed dried fruit, toffee and light spice on the nose, a rich, rounded palate with oak and citrus peel, and a long, warm finish. It's a rare, mature release aimed squarely at collectors and serious single malt drinkers.

How to drink Balblair 1983

Neat, in a proper glass, with time to breathe — a whisky with this much cask time deserves a slow pour rather than ice or a mixer.
