BALBLAIR 1979 VINTAGE
HIGHLAND SINGLE MALT

Distilled: 1979

Bottled: 2007

46% ABV / 70cl

The Highland distillery of Balblair, overlooking the Dornoch Firth, produces a light fruity and complex spirit, a result of its slow, decidedly old school production methods.
First marketed as a single malt in the year 2000, it wasn’t until 2007 when they expanded the range (prioritising vintages over age statements) that Balbair really took off. Despite this, in 2019, the distillery made the move back to age statements in order to appeal to a broader clientele. However, there will be a few diehard fans who will miss the era of vintages.

 

A condition report is offered as an indication of any issues visible to the naked eye.

The condition report does not form part of any contract between McTear's and the buyer, and all lots are offered "as is" in accordance with our Terms of Business available on our website.
