Description
Balblair 12 year old
In the harmonious interplay of fruit, spice, and sweetness, Balblair 12 Year Old embodies the refined allure of the Highlands. Distinguished and accessible, this expression epitomizes the essence of Balblair Distillery, serving as a benchmark for all others. Crafted through maturation in American oak ex-bourbon and double-fired American oak casks, it achieves a sophisticated complexity and inviting warmth.
Balblair Distillery
Balblair distillery, located north of Inverness in Ross-shire, was established in 1872 to replace the original 1790 distillery for better access to railways. Some buildings date back to the 18th century. Family-owned until 1894, it closed in 1911, reopening in 1948 under new ownership. Acquired by Hiram Walker in the 1970s, it is now owned by Inver House distillers. Vintage releases in 2007 gained popularity among whisky enthusiasts. Learn more with our whisky tastings.
