Balblair 1988 Single Cask

Country: Scotland

Region: Highlands

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 58.2%

Score: 95 Points

The nose is soft with light spices, vanilla, brown sugar, and just a hint of marzipan. The taste is mouth-filling and spicy, with chili powder and coriander, cashews, and a hint of maltiness. The malt and chili powder notes linger into the finish, and fade slowly to reveal a touch of brown sugar.
