Tasting note: Not often you find indie Balblairs. This was originally a puncheon that was re-racked into two fresh sherry hogsheads in August 2017 before being vatted together. Polished brass gold. Slightly green and peppery at first before suggestions of Castlemaine Rock (think peppermint rock lollies). Later, sponge cake and hints of hazelnut emerge. In the mouth it's a deliciously creamy assortment of medium-sweet vanilla and chocolate box flavours. Excellent balance. The sherry rallies at the finish. Add minimal water and you have Balblair at its precocious best. 57.8% Alc./Vol.
