Balblair Beauty - Friday 16th April

Another month, another vertical whisky tasting!! This time tracing the delights of Balblair distillery, as far back as 1966.

I love this Highland gem, and can’t wait to share it with you!! Some of these bottles are one off’s and/or very rare, so this will be another very special evening.

These are the 10 drams (20ml) that will be featured:

Balblair 18

Balblair 99 - 2016 TWE exclusive

Balblair Highland Whisky Festival 97 - 2019

Balblair 97 - 2018 LMDW exclusive

Balblair 85 - 2015 NATEX exclusive

The evening will run from 7.30 - 10pm, on Friday 16th April, on Zoom. This will be recorded if you can’t make that date.

The tasting costs £110 all inclusive (DPD to Europe is a bit more, available upon request).

For East Coast Whisky members the cost is £100 (please enquire if interested).

To join: https://www.paypal.me/ecwhisky including your name, address, and Balblair in the notes. If this is your first tasting with us, please also email these to dram@eastcoastwhisky.com

Drams will be sent first class, signed for, a week before the event. You will also receive some collated tastings notes and a Zoom link a couple of days before the evening too.

This will be an amazing tasting whether you are new to Balblair or not, and a great introduction to a distillery we will be visiting on a East Coast Whisky tour in the months ahead!!

Frederick
