Balblair is a distillery in Edderton, Ross-shire, Scotland, which was founded in 1790 by John Ross. Most parts of the current distillery date from 1872 and were built by Alexander Ross. The distillery was closed from 1915-1947 and 1996-1997, but is now producing again. This makes it the second oldest distillery in Scotland still in operation.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
