Long known to blenders as a category 'A' malt, Balblair is a terrific malt whisky worthy of far greater exposure than it has previously enjoyed. Relaunched in 2007 as a series of vintage expressions, and repositioned as a premium product, this previously unsung hero is now finally getting the attention and respect it deserves. Web-Exclusive Price!
Banana on the nose? Amazing. Smooth, delicate, amazingly long finish. This is my favorite scotch to drink after a meal with salmon.

This has a sharp floral nose, with citrus hints. The body is oaky and peppery. While some have called this whisky 'subtle', for me it lacks depth. I also thought the finish was a little weak.

A very tempting nose, flower like (in good way) and yes, some banana too. Mouth feeling is warm, soft, lightly smoky and caramel. A very rich, deep and complex malt. I took one dram, didn't buy a bottle. I wish it would be as easy as just click "add to basket"...

Bought a mini of this to try last night. I'll be getting a bottle for sure. Very nice - subtle and fragrant at first, but with a deceptive hidden punch; followed by a lingering Highland end. Great for the money.

An astonishing whisky......banana on the nose anyone? Smooth, subtle and very sophisticated. Would happily pay twice the asking price for a drink this good!This is a whisky to impress your friends
