Balblair - Vintage 1999

Highland, Single Malt Scotch Whisky

-

The nose is fresh, fruity, captivatin­g and offers complexity. It reveals fine notes of Zante currants, pâtisserie­s and mirabelle plums combined with a touch of dried orange zest, sandalwood as well as a touch of rose, salinity, white pepper, spices, crème pâtissière and an impercepti­ble touch of carameliza­tion. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers fat, a beautiful unctuosity, a fine tension, a fine straightne­ss as well as precision. In the mouth this Scotch Whisky expresses notes of candied orange zest and fine touches of dried citrus, apple (in the background), dried fruits associated with a fine touch of carameliza­tion and a very discreet salinity (in the background), spices and honey. Good length and beautiful persistenc­e.
