Characteristics

The label states "FIVE YEARS OLD", "BALBLAIR", "PURE MALT" and "FROM THE HOUSE OF Ballantine's", indicating an older-era release associated with George Ballantine & Son. "Pure Malt" is a historical term broadly aligned with malt whisky labeling of the period. The bottle shows 75 cl and 40% vol, and includes bottling/import details referencing Dumbarton, Scotland, suggesting a distribution/bottling context different from modern official releases, giving it a distinctly vintage profile.
