A Highland single malt whisky from the Balblair distillery, distilled in 2003 and bottled in 2015. The box exterior describes it as 'something quite special about a perfectly matured, Highland single malt whisky. About the essence of a Vintage year, captured in a bottle.' [3]
Based on 5 published Maltiply reviews.
The bright citrus and floral notes keep this from feeling heavy, while honey and spice add a warmer edge. The fairly spicy finish sounds more forward than my usual preference, though the fruit gives it a welcome counterpoint.
wildmintkit19 SeptThe fruit gives this a welcoming, easy-to-picture character: apricot and apple on the nose, followed by clear orange and lemon on the palate. Honey and vanilla soften the citrus, while the white wine acidity and fresh mint add a livelier edge. The finish brings ginger and pepper, so it doesn’t simply fade into sweetness. I’m drawn to that balance of familiar fruit and a gently spicy close; it sounds characterful without leaning on obscure tasting language.
mossy_socks9 SeptFull-bodied citrus and honey bring a lovely bit of richness.
Bright citrus meets spice.
sundialrambler22 AugThe bright citrus and honey give this a warm sweetness, while the pepper and ginger bring a lively edge. That sweet-and-spicy balance sounds especially appealing, with enough freshness to keep it from feeling heavy.
