Description
This 1972-vintage Balblair represents a rare window into Highland whisky history, released by Gordon & MacPhail in 1995 after nearly two decades of maturation. The distillery operated only from 1965 to 1977, making aged stocks increasingly scarce and sought after. Without original tasting notes available, the bottle promises the dried fruit, oak spice, and gentle smokiness typical of Highland malts from this era. A collector's piece for those studying Scottish distillery heritage.
