Special Features:

This single-cask release was distilled at Balblair in 1986 and matured for 38 years in refill American hogshead #12484. Gordon & MacPhail bottled the whisky on 23 April 2025 at 50.6% for its Connoisseurs Choice range. Batch 24/015 comprises just 114 bottles.

The whisky was bottled at cask strength, without chill filtration or added colouring. The 0.7-litre bottle is presented in a wooden case.

Tasting Notes:

  • Nose: Lemon peel and green apples mingle with floral notes on the nose, with a delicate waxy trace emerging in the background.
  • Palate: Sweet pineapple combines with almonds and marzipan on the palate. White pepper provides a spicy counterpoint, while a delicate oak note supports the balance.
  • Finish: The finish is long, warm and creamy, with lingering stewed pears and an elegant woody note.

Distillery/Bottler:

John Ross founded Balblair in 1790. The Highland distillery produced the single malt distilled in 1986, while independent bottler Gordon & MacPhail oversaw its maturation and bottling.

George Urquhart developed Connoisseurs Choice in the 1960s to showcase the individual character of Scottish distilleries through single malts. Gordon & MacPhail selects spirits for the range, matures them and bottles them; today, the range also includes cask-strength editions.
