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.

A “blow-away” alternative to 1989 Balblair is:

Tuthilltown Rye Whiskey, often referred to as “Government Warning Rye” is made with whole grain rye and bottled at 92 proof. These unique batches are released as they are ready and carry a unique flavor. Each batch is the distiller’s choice with spicier overtones and a grassy rye note. As with all of Tuthilltown Spirits‘ aged spirits, each bottle is hand filled, capped, waxed and numbered.
