Amber Room Review

Gordon & Macphail Balblair 10 Years Old 57% bottled 1975

29 September 2026
90

A very complex old sherried-style whisky despite being only 10 years old

Nose

This is as typical as you can get to an old sheried style whisky nose, with added oomph due to the high ABV, then come some herbal and Chinese medicine notes

Body

Dark fruits, sweet, floral, stewed strawberries, slightly bitter towards the end, herbal, with water the medicinal and dark fruits become more dominant, along with a slightly sweeter aftertaste

Finish

Short, dry, herbal finish
