Highland whisky distillery Balblair has announced that their new age-statement collection of single malt Scotch whiskies will be available in the United States. The new portfolio of four age statement whiskies replaces all existing Balbalair expressions. The revamped range was first unveiled in 2019 and aims to build on the brand’s reputation of quality single malt whiskies.
Check Price The new core collection includes:
12-Year-Old 46% ABV (SRP, $69.99): matured in American oak ex-bourbon and double-fired American oak casks, with notes of dried orange, ground spices and sweet vanilla. 15-Year-Old 46% ABV (SRP, $119.99): matured initially in American oak ex-bourbon casks, followed by first-fill Spanish oak butts, with notes of dark chocolate, tropical fruit and creamy vanilla. 18-Year-Old 46% ABV (SRP, $209.99): matured initially in American oak ex-bourbon casks, followed by first-fill Spanish oak butts, with notes of juicy apricots, vanilla custard and raisins. 25-Year-Old 46% ABV (SRP, $699.99): matured initially in American oak ex-bourbon casks then reshaped in Oloroso Spanish oak, with notes of oily citrus, chocolate praline, fresh tobacco leaf and blood oranges.
“As one of the oldest working distilleries in the Scottish Highlands, Balblair has a long and rich history of crafting premium single malt Scotch whisky,” said Balblair Distillery Manager John MacDonald. “We are proud of our heritage and we will continue to honor our centuries-old traditions, but we also look forward in a quiet pursuit of perfection.” Editorial credit: Kraft_Stoff / Shutterstock.com Established in 1790, Balblair’s location on the Dornoch Firth is intrinsically linked to the whisky itself, with its water source coming from the nearby Allt Dearg burn. The distillery also sits close to the site of an ancient gathering place for the Picts, known as Clach Biorach. “Our whisky hasn’t changed: Balblair will always be a single malt Scotch whisky of premium quality, and remain true to its renowned character, “said Balblair Brand Manager, Laura Young. “The updated collection, complete with a new range of age statements and super-premium packaging, is a testament to the dedicated distillers who patiently craft our award-winning Highland whisky. We’ve had an extremely positive response to the new collection from consumers around the world and we’re excited to now be sharing it with whisky fans in America,” Young concluded. The Balblair range will be available online and through fine whisky retailers. For more information on the brand and the new core range visit their official website.
