With all this history and tradition, it should come as no surprise that the distillery values its traditional methods of whisky production. Read on for a full run-down of Balblair’s distillation methods:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs is the case with many of the workhorse distilleries of Scotland, only around 10% of the 22,500 casks maturing in the eight traditional earthen floored dunnages is actually reflected or earmarked as Single Malt. The remainder finds its way into world-renowned blends such as Chivas Regal, Ballantine's \u0026amp; Hankey Bannister.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBalblair uses several varieties of barley with minimal peat levels of 1-2 PPM, and its silos have a 30 tonne collective capacity, meaning that the distillery can operate self-sufficiently under the worst winter conditions for up to 3 weeks. At Balblair, one tonne of barley produces just over 400 litres of spirit and production reaches 1.3 million litres of new make spirit annually.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMashing (in stainless steel) takes place in three stages over a six hour timeline; firstly at 65C, secondly at 82C and finally at 92C. This slower natural drainage system assists in giving Balblair spirit its fruit driven characteristics by releasing the fatty compounds in the sugary wort of the mash. Fermentation takes place in six traditional Pine Oregon washbacks, each containing 21,500 litres of fermenting liquid at different times in the process. At 62 hours long, the fermentation allows the micro-flora bacteria held in the wood of the washbacks to impart a secondary minor fermentation. The result of this is a sulphury\/meaty note to the new make. Now, this might be something you’d wonder why they would possibly want to do, but the end result is worth it… the sulphur lifts to reveal those delicate, delicious fruits, while the meatiness changes and brings sweet toffee notes and, after extended ageing, a notable spiciness. Once finished, the fermented wash is in essence a fruity strong ale of around 8-9% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDistillation is done in two large stills, one wash and one spirit, which have very large, bulbous bases with thick necks to achieve the heavier, robust \u0026amp; oily spirit preferred by Balblair. Lyne arms run through the still-room wall to copper condensers that cool the vapour back into liquid new make spirit ready for cask maturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll that work, and only $115 a bottle?

This includes Dhavall Gandhi as whiskymaker from 2016, succeeded by Sarah Burgess in Jan 2023, who brings 25 years of experience, formerly Lead Whiskymaker at Macallan after running the ship at both Clynelish and Glenkinchie.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBurgess is driving the consistently high quality of The Lakes to new heights, and championing the distillery as the one to watch out for in 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Lakes have two key single malt series, the seven-part series of Whiskymaker’s Reserve, numbered 1–7 (it was No. 4 that took home World’s Best Single Malt), and their limited Whiskymaker’s Editions, award-winning in their own right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe distillery uses deliberately slow and extremely hands-on processes to achieve layers of flavour and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“The slower the mashing process and the more we recirculate the water, the clearer the resulting wort will be... and the fruitier the spirit will become,” says Burgess.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wort goes through a slow, 96-hour fermentation to elicit a lighter, creamier spirit. This is augmented by a meticulous multi-oak, multi-Sherry maturation strategy inspired by the use of élevage by the cellarmasters of Cognac. By assessing the spirit at regular intervals in its ageing, Sarah can decide whether each individual cask would benefit from a new cask type, location, or even further blending at any stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis method creates incredible complexity in the resulting whiskies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSherry cask matured and complimented by generous use of the finest Calvados, red wine and American oak casks, The Lakes have created a absolutely fascinating whisky packed with the rich, oily, viscous texture we love, but paradoxically delicate with a mouthwatering, juicy explosion of fruit.
