About this bottle

Founded by John Ross in 1790, Balblair is among Scotland's oldest distilleries. Although the distillery has relocated since its inception, its current location is situated just outside Tain. In 2007, Curious Group Glasgow designed the distinctive packaging for Balblair bottlings. This vintage single malt whisky was matured in American oak and bottled in 2009.

Why there's no score

We have 6 ratings for this bottle, and we don't publish an average until 30 people have weighed in.

A handful of ratings can average to anything, and a 4.8 built on three of them looks exactly like a 4.8 built on three hundred. Rather than print a number we can't stand behind, we leave it blank until the count is there. The critic score above comes from a panel rather than the crowd, so it stands on its own.
