BALLANTINE SCOTCH 17 Years

The story of Ballantine's is one of knowledge, experience, craftsmanship and dedication handed down through the five generations of Master Blenders. Ballantine's 17 year old is a revered whisky: complex and vibrant, with a honeyed sweetness and hints of oak and peat smoke. Golden amber in colour, with a deep and elegant nose, this is a complete and luscious whisky full of subtlety, character and colour. Blended from a selection of 17-year-old single malt and grain whiskeys, the Scotch is bottled at 86 proof which, coupled with its sweet desserty goodness, makes it a perfect as an after-dinner sipper.Savor each sip of this fine pale gold Scotch starting from its inviting nose of mochaccino, chocolate, Madeira, leather, caramel, oak, and faint peat smoke to its light and fairly sweet palate of apples, light brown sugar, spices, molasses, gooseberries, and light malt with more hints of smokiness all tied together by a dry and persistent finish of tropical fruits, vanilla, custard, rye bread, coconut, malt, peat.Crowned World Whisky of the Year by the 2011 edition of Jim Murrays Whiskey Bible, the Ballantine's 17 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky is one of the finest blended Scotch whiskeys out there.
