Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 
Bottled by: Gordon & MacPhail 70cl / 54.7%

A 25-year-old Balblair 1997 bottled in 2023 by Gordon & MacPhail for their Connoisseurs Choice Cask Strength series.

This splendid 1997 Balblair 25-year-old came from a single refill bourbon barrel that yielded 163 bottles at its natural strength of 54.7%. Balblair really gets into its stride at this sort of age, and a refill bourbon cask will always let the spirit shine, so this should be superb.
