Balblair 1989 as it should be, dressed in a kilt. Balbair 1989 as you might buy it today.

Balblair Whisky 1989 Bottling Note
As part of a trio of vintages launched in February of 2007, this 1989 ‘vintage’ from the Balblair distillery is another superb example, exhibiting that beautiful vanilla spice, cereal sweetness we have come to expect from the Edderton-based distillery.

Balblair 1989 Tasting Note

Nose: Crisp, balanced, a lovely dose of bourbon. Vanilla and spicy oak roll.
Palate: Full and tight, barley notes with their silken sweetness and more vanilla oak.
Finish: Good length, the sweet, bourbon oak lingers and with it creamy barley.
