Ballantine's 21 Year
Blended
Ballantine’s // Scotland
George Ballantine's empire began in 1827 as a humble grocery store that also supplied a variety of whiskies to its customers in Edinburgh, Scotland. With the help of his sons, he eventually expanded the business and began creating his own blends of whisky to bottle and sell under the family name.
Ballantine's 21 Year is blended with a higher proportion of whiskies aged in European oak barrels compared to the rest of the range. This very old blended Scotch is bottled at 43% ABV.

Tasting Notes
"A delicately balanced blend with soft smoke, light spices and subtle fruits. The palate is big on caramel and fudge, with whispers of orange peel and milk chocolate. The European oak speaks loudly here, as it is fairly spicy. The finish is long and spicy, before settling into notes of dried fruits."
