Balblair 1990 Single ex-Islay Cask #1463

Balblair distillery is situated in the northern Highland region, currently under the ownership of Inver House Distillers and previously part of the Hiram Walker empire before it became Allied Distillers. Allied sold it to Inver House in 1996, who introduced this much-loved vintage-dated core range in 2007. They were produced for over ten years before being replaced by an age-stated core range in 2019.

This is an interesting single cask, drawn from an American oak barrel which has previously held Islay single malt. It was bottled at cask strength in 2012.
