Balblair – 5 Year Old Pure Malt 1980s

This is a Balblair bottled in the 1980s with a five-year age statement and the words Pure Malt on the label. Balblair is a Highland distillery. Pure Malt was a term used in the past for vatted malts, blends of single malts from different distilleries. On older Balblair bottlings it may instead point to the time before modern single malt labelling became standard, so the wording is part of what marks this out as a vintage-era bottle.
