Tasting Notes

With a faint whiff of smoke and a delicate touch of mocha, Ballantine's 17 Year Old whisky invites you into a world of refined flavors. The aroma subtly hints at leather and Madeira wine, complemented by a delightful hint of chocolate. On the palate, it strikes a perfect balance, offering notes of freshly cut herbs and a distinct vegetal character, intertwined with the zestiness of citrus and the indulgent richness of fudge. The subtle presence of peat smoke adds depth and intrigue. As you savor the finish, the fruity notes linger before gradually transitioning into a pleasantly dry sensation. This well-aged blend exemplifies the art of harmonizing diverse flavors into a vibrant, smooth, and captivating whisky experience, where the sweetness of honey, the crispness of apples, and the comforting notes of biscuits create an unforgettable tapestry of flavors, subtly accented by a hint of smoke.
