Ballantine's Finest

GLASS: Dalmore Glencairn Copita Nosing Glass NOSE: Neat - Orange zest and cardboard are the dominant notes with secondary floral elements (Roses). PALATE: Neat - Matches the nose. Candied citrus with the bitterness of the peel. Not much else going on. A fine tipple in a pinch or if you’ve lost your job and need a cheap Scotch that won’t make you cringe. CONCLUSION: Reminds me of a cocktail waitress I used to shag in my 20’s. Uncomplicated but pleasant to put my face in. $19.99 USD per Bottle

Almost nothing on the nose. Not much happening on the initial taste, either. It’s light and thin in the mouth. Warm honey lingers afterward. Dewars White Label and The Famous Grouse are better choices for a similar price point.
