Ballantines 17 years Blended Scotch Whisky.

This was Jim Murray’s Scotch Blend of the Year for 2010 and it really is incredible. Proper modern blending that is sophisticated and complex.

Nose: Feinty. Smoke and a touch of mochaccino. There are some notes of leather and Madeira with a little chocolate.

Palate: Balanced. There are notes of cut herbs and a defined vegetal character. Fresh citrus and fudge. Touch of peat smoke.

Finish: Fruit, becomes dry.
