Balblair Distillery

Balblair is one of the select few distilleries claiming to be the oldest distillery in Scotland. The buildings and distillery we know now were officially founded in 1790. The distillery is small, producing 1,800,000 litres per year, and is known for creating a style of whisky that is loaded with tropical fruit and long, spicy finishes. Since 1996 the site has been owned by Inver House distillers and has seen significant commercial success since.

SMWS

The Scotch Malt Whisky Society (SMWS) was formed in 1983 as an exclusive members club. These days they release whisky from over 125 different distilleries worldwide. Renowned for their single cask, cask strength bottlings, many early SMWS bottles are highly sought after.

SMWS bottlings have a unique coded system to denote the distillery and edition. Many of the early decimal numbers are therefore the most sought after of the editions and their Japanese whisky bottlings are becoming particularly desirable.
