Description
This, the current pinnacle of the Balblair offering, shows precisely why this relatively little-known distillery deserves more attention. Lots of dried and orchard fruits on both nose and palate attest to the long fermentation times. A delightfully rich texture to the spirit makes taking a second sip deliciously obligatory. This is a Highland whisky made without any appreciable peat influence; instead, it gains balance from a hint of the meaty, savoury aspect imbued by the squat, dumpy stills. Drink this with something soulful: macaroni and cheese, pecan pie or late-career Etta James, perhaps.

About this spirit
Balblair Distillery, Highlands
Ornellaia
Tenuta dell’Ornellaia is located in one of the world’s most exciting wine regions: Bolgheri. A breathtaking avenue lined by towering cypress trees leads inland from the Aurelia, the old Roman coastal road, up to the walls of Bolgheri’s medieval hamlet. From the village the view extends far out to sea and on a clear day the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago and Corsica can be seen. The mild maritime climate and the lush Mediterranean vegetation leave an imprint upon the character of the wines. Tenuta dell’Ornellaia's unique territory guides all aspects of production: limited quantities to ensure maximum quality, attention to every detail, selective hand harvesting, microvinification and ageing.
