Where Art Meets Craft

Boasting not only the oldest, but one of the most picturesque distilleries in Scotland, Balblair offers so much more than just a valued evening companion.

Balblair is a single malt brand hailing from the town of Edderton in the Scottish Highlands, and made in one of the oldest working distilleries in Scotland, dating back to 1790. Not only the oldest, it’s also one of the most picturesque distilleries in Scotland, with its location on the Dornoch Firth and easy access to AlltDearg burn (a burn is the name given to a large stream in Scotland) for its water supply. Its scenic credentials stood it in good stead when acclaimed director Ken Loach was scouting for locations for Angel’s Share his 2012 comedy—a movie that also went on to win the Jury prize at the 2012 Cannes film festival.
