Balblair has introduced Vintage 2005, a new \u201centry level\u201d single malt Scotch which will replace the 2003 expression.<\/p>\n

Matured in American oak ex-Bourbon barrels, Vintage 2005 was bottled in December 2015 and released in time for Burns Night earlier this year.<\/p>\n

The release is the fourth expression in the core consumer range of Vintages, which includes 1999, 1990, 1983 and now the 2005, in place of the 2003 liquid, launched in 2013.<\/p>\n

Vintage 2005 is said to display the classic Balblair house aromas, along with notes of oaky vanilla and leather. The \u201cfull-bodied\u201d palate offers \u201chints of honey and toffee\u201d and a \u201cspicy, long finish\u201d described as \u201cmore pronounced\u201d than Balblair 2003.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 2005 offers the next stage in flavour profile displaying complexity as well as refreshing citrus notes,\u201d said Mark Steven, Balblair brand manager. \u201cThe 2005 completes our core consumer range, meaning we can offer Balblair consumers a whisky for every occasion.\u201d<\/p>\n

Balblair Vintage 2005 is non-chill-filtered, and bottled at natural colour at 46% abv. It is available globally now.<\/p>\n
