Balblair 2000 2nd Release Bottled 2017

With influence from both American Oak and Spanish Oak, this perfectly rounded mid-range Vintage is a true testimony to the craft of traditional whisky making.

Balblair 2000 2nd Release replaces the award winning 1999 3rd release. The 2000 2rd release is presented in a premium opening box, joining the complete Balblair collection available in this luxury format.

Appearance
Bright copper in colour.
Aroma
The nose is full bodied with aromas of seasoned oak, baked red apples and fruitcake, followed by warming vanilla and ripe tropical stone fruits. Rich and balanced, this classic Balblair nose tells the story of its charismatic spirit and perfect ageing.
Palate
On the palate, the whisky is slightly oily in texture. Ground spices and old hardwood strike first chords in this elegant and rewarding dram, building up to brighter flavours of tinned pineapples, bitter orange peel and honey.
Finish
The finish builds up slowly with lasting sweetness, creaminess and notes of bitter chocolate.
