Mapping confidence: confirmed · how we verify · report a correction
The Scotch Malt Whisky Society bottles single casks under numeric codes rather than distillery names, so a label reading 70.403 means cask 403 from distillery 70. That distillery is Balblair, in Highland. More on Balblair at Wikipedia.
