Tasting notes : A complicated, full-bodied malt, best suited os an after-dinner dram. Taste Rating = 4 The Balmenach Distillery, in the Haughs of Cromdale, is set in an area which was notorious for illicit distilling for many years before the Licensing Act of 1823. Built in 1824 by James McGregor (great-grandfather of Sir Robert Bruce Lockhart, author of the slassic 1951 book, Scotch), Balmenach was one of the first distilleries in the Highlands to be licensed under the 1923 act. The distillery was acquired by United Distillers and most of its production went into the company's blends but has since been closed. The single malt is still relatively rare, only becomming available in official bottlings in the Distillery (Flora and Fauna) Malt series early in the 1990's. |
