Balblair 15 Year Old Review
When it comes to Scotch, with higher age and price comes a more complex tasting experience. This release from Balbair is no exception. With each whiff, the nose displays intense dried fruit aromas followed by toffee, some citrus, and toasty baking spices. Spiced oak notes appear on the palate with each velvety sip. Feel free to drink this full-bodied, full-flavored Scotch with an ice cube or two, or even a couple drops of water.
