Balblair 12 years is part of the Discovery Series by Gordon & MacPhail. This series was developed with the idea of informing whisky lovers about the taste profile based on colour, distinguishing between three groups; bourbon, sherry and smoky whisky. Balblair 12 years Discovery falls under the bourbon category.
This is a lively single malt whisky rich in vanilla and sweets. The aroma combines grass, barley, vanilla butterscotch and mint. In the mouth, the best of apple comes together with pear and honey. The aftertaste is slightly fresh and particularly spicy; liquorice and vanilla are most noticeable.
