===== BalBlair =====

//Established in 1790.//

==== Hihgland Single Malt Scotch 2005 Vintage ==== 

|  {{balblair-2005.jpg?400px}}  ^Tasting Notes|
| ::: |The first release of Vintage 2005 is light, sparkling gold in appearance.|
| ::: |The nose is full bodied with the classic aromas of fresh green apples, ground spices and honey. The American oak, ex-bourbon arrels used in maturation impart notes of oaky vanilla, leather and oranges with a hint of fragrant cut flowers and smoke.|
| ::: |On the palate Balblair's signature style of citrus orchard is followed by intense sweetness of toffee and vanilla rounded off by a deliciously spicy, long finish. This superb dram is bright and full of character, a ray of sunshine in a bottle.|

=== Vintages Timed to Perfection ===

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.

=== A Vintage Story ===

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.
