Balblair Releases Four Vintage Whiskies
Balblair Distillery has released four vintage Highland single malt Scotch whiskies from its vaults. Released this month will be Balblair 1983, Balblair 1990, Balblair 1999 and Balblair 2003. Balblair 1983 and 2003 have both been matured in American oak casks that formerly held Bourbon and are expected to exude notes of citrus, honey and spice. The pair of 1990s Balblairs were also aged in American oak casks but additionally spent some time in Spanish oak sherry butts and are expected to produce honey and green apple notes.
Bottled at 46% alcohol content [92 proof], the prices for the select group of whiskies begin at $70 for the 2003, $90 for the 1999, $140 for the 1993 and $330 for the 1983.
