A special set from Balblair - a combination of a bottle of their long discontinued 33 year old whisky with a branded, and lined, nosing glass and a mini bottle of the whisky to try before you open the full sized version.
Nose: Pipe smoke, citrus, and waxy leather notes with a beautiful sweetness, prominent oak.
Palate: Peat and wood smoke, which then gives way to a sweet, complex profile.
Finish: Quite bitter but not in a bad way, with grapefruit and spicy notes.
