Balblair 10 year old Family Series The Single Cask (Cask #800130)

This superb Highland Single Malt was distilled at the Balblair distillery. It spent its entire maturation in a single Oloroso Hogshead. The guys at The Single Cask thought it was great and decided to include it in their brilliant Family Series. Like other whiskies in the range, this Balblair 10 year old was bottled without involving chill filtration, dilution nor artificial colouring. 

The Single Cask

The Single Cask bottle unique whiskies, one cask at a time. They carefully select every single cask, and bottle it at natural cask strength. No chill filtration nor artificial colouring are used. Each whisky offers the best from each individual cask. 

Balblair Distillery

Balblair distillery is located just North of Inverness in Ross-shire. The current distillery was built in 1872 after it was decided that the original Balblair distillery (built in 1790) needed to be relocated to have easier access to railway services. The original water source is still being used today. Some of the buildings at the distillery date from the 18th century.

The distillery remained family owned and run for over a century. When it was sold in 1894 it operated for just a few years before closing down in 1911. It remained closed for over 30 years and it was bought in 1948 by the owners of Old Pulteney distillery in Wick. The distillery was renovated and production was increased upon acquisition.

In the 1970's the distillery was sold to Hiram Walker from Canada. After being sold at least once more, it became part of Inver House distillers (current owners) in 1996. 'Vintage' releases were bottled in 2007 and the whisky became quite a sensation among whisky enthusiasts.
