Established in 1790.

Balblair whiskies are uniquely Vintage, our bottles are not marked with an age statement, but simply with the year that the whisky was laid down. Every year, our Distillery Manager JohnMacDonald, tastes, judges and selects straight from the cask. And at exactly the right moment, when the balane between the age and the character of the whisky is just right, we bottle it.

Each Vintage represents an exact moment in time. A moment of perfection, it's the ability to judge that precise point in time that makes Balblair so special.

Established in 1790 Balblair distillery is one of the oldes working distilleries in Scotland. It is strikingly situated by the beautiful Dornoch Firth on the sweep of the Cambuscurrie Bay within sight of the ancient Clach Biorach standing stone.

The original source of its water is still used to this day. The delightful and winding Allt Dearg burn flows fresh and clear from the surronding hills.

Established in 1826.

Wick was the herring capital of Europe from 1860-90, when a flotilla of as many as 1,000 boats - known as drifters - crowded the harbour during 'silver darling' season. The drifters employed around 6,000 fishermen and provided labour for a further 6,000 hands, including the 'fisher-lassies' who gutted, salted and barrelled the herring for export worldwide.

As the man behind the town's 19th Century fishing boom, Sir William Pulteney put Wick on the map, but today the Pulteney name is better known for its unique single malt whisky. Distilled and matured by the sea, the liquid in our casks is cocooned by salty air swept ashore on Arctic winds.

During Wick's heyday as Europe's herring capital, the vessels, adorned with their generous, sparkling hauls of silver darlings, also carried fishermen in their droves. Exhausted after weekes of high seas hardship, the courageous seafarers who landed silver by the barrel were rewarded with liquid gold by the cask

• Degré : 46%
• Note : Doux mais épicé. Une bonne rondeur en bouche. Fruits du vergers très présents. Au nez et un peu en bouche on peut sentir l'influence du bourbon. Un long finish en effet. Très appréciable. Pas tourbé, pas iodé.
