Balblair 5 Year Old Bot. 1980s

About The Brand: Balblair

Balblair, Scotland's most iconic distillery, is situated on an isolated mountain with unobstructed views of the Dornoch Firth. Everything we stand for is embodied in our whiskies. In order to create our distinctive, character-filled whiskey, we only employ the best ingredients and time-honored techniques. Our Highland house has a mysterious, interesting vibe to it since it is built on an old Pictish meeting spot. The isolated Clach Biorach standing stone, which still stands close to the distillery, watched over the Picts when they gathered more than 3,000 years ago, just as it does for us now. Each bottle of Balblair contains a distinctive Z Rod marking that serves as a symbol and a testament to its lengthy heritage. Our exceptional light yet nuanced spirit is made in our original squat neck pot stills using ingredients like Black Isle barley and the open lade water that runs down the Edderton Hills and captures genuine local flavor. Our single malt is the result of the perseverance and commitment of our skilled artisans, who won't accept anything less than the finest for Balblair. We never rush or make concessions. This controlled and thorough process allows us to use time to produce the flavor of our distinctive new make spirit, which was fermented for an unusually lengthy 62 hours and then slowly distilled for 4 1/2 hours.
