Balblair 1997 43%


Not been on here for a while so thought that I should get the finger out and add some new notes - so here goes!


Nose: Sweet, lots of vanilla, creme brulee and hard toffee. Brown sugar and a touch of icing sugar. Some lime and Kiwis coming through and hints of shortbread - (Deans Shortbread)


Taste: A little fresh wood, vanilla warm toffos. Becomes more grassy with water.


Finish: A little bit drying, then a bit of that citrusy kiwi notes coming through.


Comment: A decent summer dram, I actually quite like this. Decent drinking whisky.




Score 87/100

I've been wondering about this one for quite sometime. May have to get a bottle.
