Balblair 2000 Millenium Malt

Filed under: Spirits

It's been a while since we heard any hoopla about the millennium. But the scotch whisky industry works at a different pace and on a slower timeline.

Whereas most distilleries commonly label their whiskies by their age at the time of bottling, Balblair Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky names theirs after the year in which they were distilled. The range already includes the 1979, 1989 and 1997 vintages, and are now joined by the limited-edition 2000 Millennium malt.

Available in limited quantities, the Balblair 2000 is already on sale in the UK at £31.50 per 70cl bottle (pricier than the 1997 but less dear than the '89 and '79 vintages), and is now being rolled out in markets around the globe.

From the Scottish highlands comes a premiere single malt scotch whisky celebrated for its 'fine quality, good taste and originality'. Balblair Highland Single Malt Scotch whisky is only offered from specifically chosen vintages based on the excellent quality of that year's production...and so named. Currently there is the Balblair 1975, 1989 and1997 available -- each whispers of vanilla notes, rich fruit, spicy notes, and a creamy, smooth finish. The 1997 sells for around $45 and prices go up from there.
