Continuing my old Ballantine's experience i now give you my review of the 21yo one, i know i started with the 30yo, but that one got a perfect score so that is why i started there, because of my emotion of having enjoyed a nice dram. This one was also great, but its not near the 30yo. Still the notes on this one were so clean and easy, truly delicious. Bottled at 40%abv On the nose, Candy, Impalpable sugar, Red apples, Sider; that outstanding Orange note, fresh orange juice, fresh orange peel. That Vanilla note from all ballantine's was also present. On the palate a little straightforward but in a fancy and delightful way, milk chocolate and prunes. Aftertaste was long and ashy, with hints of wood smoke. Nice. Overall this dram is excelent and deserves a score of 90 over 100.
