Tasting Balblair 1978 Highland Single Malt Whisky

By Miguel in Tasting , Balblair

“Very floral and dry. I usually don't like this kind of whiskies but there are times when a man has to accept defeat and say this Balblair is a great whisky!”

90
The replacement for the 1975 in Balblair's vintage range, the 1978 is a 30 year old whisky bottled with natural colour and un-chill-filtered.

This Highland single malt whisky is really floral and fruity, which I don't really enjoy. But on this Balblair whisky the style simply rocks! Awesome whisky.

This dram has a gold-like color.

Nose (91): more than average. honey, fruits, pineapple, citrus, floral, candies. Deliciously sweet fruits there.

Palate (90): dry, powerful. sweet, floral, spices, liquorice, wood, vanilla. Quite dry and floral

Finish (90): average. sweet, spices, floral.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Balblair 1978 Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky with 90 points over 100.
