TBWC Balblair 11YO Batch 3 500mL

Bright, juicy, and gently spiced, the Balblair 11 Year Old Batch 3 from That Boutique-y Whisky Company offers a youthful yet well-formed snapshot of this northern Highland distillery’s fruity house style. Known for its citrusy malt and soft Highland character, this expression balances fresh orchard fruit with subtle oak spice and a hint of coastal air. On the nose, expect vibrant aromas of green apple, grated lemon zest, and peach skin, followed by notes of vanilla fudge, cereal malt, and a wisp of floral honey. A touch of ginger root and light toast hints at cask influence without overshadowing the spirit. The palate is light to medium-bodied and gently oily, delivering flavours of baked pear, shortbread, and citrus marmalade, supported by tinges of clove, white pepper, and a whisper of oak char. There's an airy Highland elegance that runs throughout. The finish is clean and balanced — with lingering notes of vanilla cream, lemon barley water, and a faint herbal dryness.
