Balblair is up in the Northern Highlands, in the group of distilleries that cluster around the Dornoch Firth. It lays claims to be one of Scotland`s oldest distilleries. A Balblair distillery was built in 1790, but that was demolished, and a new one went up in a new location in 1894; that`s the one that currently stands. It also closed during the First World War, and didn`t open again till after the Second. This bottling is salty and sweet, like salted caramel, with a slightly viscous, oily texture that takes water well. It`s a great example of a North Highland coastal malt. (NT 27/03/18)
