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.

The Millennium Tower Discounts 15 Percent

One of the most lavish condo projects in San Francisco, the Millennium Tower, will be given a price chop. The 60-story glass tower with sweeping Bay Area views is reducing prices by 15 percent including offering a refund on units already sold. The tower, San Francisco's tallest residential building is being built in the South of Market area. The tower includes a club level with a screening room, pool and pool terrace, fitness club, tasting room, lounge, dining room and fitness center. A residents-only dining room is serviced by Michael Mina's restaurant RN74 which is located in the tower.

The cuts are in line with recent housing data in the San Francisco market which have shown prices falling over the past year. So far the Millennium Tower, San Francisco's fourth-tallest building, has 92 units, or a fifth of the total, under contract. The decision means that the developer Millennium Partners LLC will refund 15 percent of the $22.5 million it has in deposits. The building is set to open in mid-April.
