Balblair 33 Year Old is a premium Highland single malt, presented here with an accompanying miniature. This long-aged expression reflects the distillery’s commitment to patient maturation, having developed a profile of significant aromatic lift and textural richness over 33 years. The nose is a complex blend of dried citrus peel, roasted nuts, honey and a subtle floral perfume. On the palate, the whisky is full-bodied and velvety, with the oak tannins perfectly integrated into a concentrated core of orchard fruit and vanilla. The finish is long and poised, with a persistent note of sweet spice and old wood, providing a rare opportunity to experience the spirit at a peak of maturity.

Balblair

One of Scotland's Oldest

Within the sight of the Balblair Distillery, on the plain of Eadar Dun in the Northern Highlands, lies an ancient Pictish monument, the 'Clach Biorach', or ‘sharp stone’. This potent symbol has become part of the identity of this connoisseur’s single malt brand, which lays claim to being one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland.

Balblair was founded in the picturesque Highlands village of Edderton in 1790. Although the distillery changed sites in 1872, it continued to be produced with spring water from its original source of Ault Dreag burn. These peaty waters which filter down from the rugged mountains of this Northern Highlands region, once a hotbed for illicit distillation, are said to account for the whisky’s delicately smoky flavour.

Just 15% of Balblair's output is used to produce single malts (the rest can be found in various blended whiskies). While Balblair previously released these by vintage, since 2019 the distillery has introduced a core range of age-statement whiskies. This includes 12, 15, 18 and 25-year-old expressions.
