Founded in 1790, Balblair Distillery is
the second oldest working whisky
distillery in Scotland. The distillery
is situated in one of the most beautiful
parts of the country, where the
Ross-shire burns flow down the Struie
Hill to the farmlands of Edderton and
down onwards to the shores of the
Dornoch Firth. The surname Ross has
particular relevance in the area. The
distillery was founded by John Ross and
remained in his family until 1894. The
air in Edderton where Balblair
Distillery is situated, is considered to
be the purest in Scotland. It is said
that this fourth element combined with
the other elements gives Balblair malt
whisky its smooth, light, delicate and
refreshing taste.

is a light aromatic Highland Malt.
Balblair Elements Tasting Notes.
A light, fresh whisky with a hint of
autumn mist, sweet to start with an
appetising citrus tinge and a slightly
peaty note as it slides over the back of
the tongue. An intriguingly complex and
satisfying whisky.
Balblair 10 Year Old Tasting Notes.
Colour: Golden amber with a pink hue.
Nose: Sweet fruits, vanilla and toffee
notes with a hint of dried fruit and
oak. Taste: Light to medium bodied,
creamy and smooth, sweet fading to a
smoky finish.
Balblair 16 Year Old Tasting Notes.
Medium to full bodied, sweet and lightly
fruity with a toffee character. A
beautifully balanced whisky with a round
smooth finish.

Following the success of Balblair
Elements and Balblair 16 Year old

Year Old malt. Bottled at its natural
cask strength of 45.4%vol. Colour:
Golden Honey. Nose: Sweet toffee with a
hint of vanilla and a slight fruity
character. Taste: Satisfyingly smooth

dry note to finish.
