Comments: 

With the advent of lots of no-age-statement whiskies, it's always nice to find a distillery that makes aged whisky, sells it, and doesn't attempt to replace it when it runs out. This was a recent one of Balblair's excellent range of entry level malts, and it is characteristic of the distillery's fruity, oaky highland make. It wouldn't shoot the lights out, but it's really nice, comforting, tasty whisky.

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
