1989 Vintage Whisky

A limited edition 10 year old whisky bottled in 1999 by Aberlour in celebration of the new millenium.

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.
