- Description
- This 16-year-old Highland single malt from Balblair dates to the 1990s, before the distillery discontinued this age statement. Balblair's house style emphasizes spice, orchard fruit, and a supple mouthfeel that develops complexity over time. The extended maturation adds dried fruit and wood spice to the spirit's natural honeyed character. A collector's piece for those seeking Highland malts from the distillery's earlier era.
