Balblair 1975 Second Edition

Country: Scotland

Region: Highlands

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 46%

Score: 94 Points

The second release of Balblair 1975 is non-chill filtered with natural color, and the nose has mild spices with notes of almond, honey, vanilla, and a hint of coconut for a smooth creaminess. The taste is spicy with cinnamon rolling in like a wave and notes of oak, nutmeg, ginger, and almond. The finish lingers nicely with mild spiciness and a touch of honey for a good balance.
