Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky Bottled by: Gordon & MacPhail 70cl / 50.5%
A 1998 Balblair 23-year-old single cask bottled without colouring or chill filtration by Gordon & MacPhail in 2022 for their Connoisseurs Choice Cask Strength range.
Cask 1075 was a first fill bourbon cask of 23-year-old Balblair 1998 that yielded 190 bottles at its natural cask strength of 50.5%. Balblair is one of those brilliant Highland distilleries whose spirit is blessed with the gift of extreme longevity in either bourbon or sherry casks, so this 23-year-old should be tremendous stuff.

I acquired mine after someone had poured it away, and used the empty as a candle holder. Despite imbibing this Glenrothes from a drain, it was decent. 57.1% seemed to remove any of the drain ickiness. It has also somewhat dulled the pain I'm still in from recently trapping my, ahem, in my zipper.
Since my daughter lives in Yorkshire I had to try this especially when I saw the peat finish. Its a promising young whisky but I would have preferred a more definite peat finish similar to the one on offer from the Glasgow Distilliery
