Balblair 2005 1st Release

Fairly plain, phenolic, young

Having a 2017 year of bottling. Very nice, soft and fruity to the nose. And to the contrary - very sharp at the beginning, like even knocking to my taste. Very fruity (citrus at most, lemon and the orange peel), with honey and vanilla hints both to the nose and to the tongue. Not that spicy and with a slight shade of smoke (not peated). Also one can feel a barrel and oak at some point. And of course green apples. Also a small nuance of flower dust and pollen (like from the meadows). Finish is very pleasant and soft. Really gentle and fulfilling. Very warm and calming. Satisfying in fine.
