Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Bottled by: Gordon & MacPhail 70cl / 54.2%
We're huge fans of Balblair single malt whisky here at WOL - it's such a great spirit and it ages fantastically well in either bourbon or sherry casks.
Exciting times, then, as indie big dogs Gordon & MacPhail weigh in with this rather epic-looking refill American hogshead of the 1989 vintage, bottled as a 31-year-old in 2021 for their Connoisseurs Choice Cask Strength range at a very promising 54.2%.
Balblair 1989 Cask 211 bestowed just 134 bottles of this nectar, so as ever it's a good idea not to hang around if you fancy one of these.

Tasting Notes
Green apple and lime zest aromas lead to coconut.
Flavours of peach and honeycomb are balanced by black pepper.
A full finish of marzipan and spice.
