Description

This is the second release of the 1975 vintage of Balblair Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky, bottled in 2012. Unlike the first release which was matured in Spanish oak ex-sherry casks, this second release was aged in American oak ex-sherry casks. It is non-chill filtered and has natural color. Balblair is known for releasing whiskies exclusively in vintages, with each vintage handpicked by the Distillery Manager when it's at its peak.
