Ballantine’s Finest (750ml)

Ballantine’s Finest is a complex, refined and elegant blended scotch whisky.  Firstly. Its taste is regarded as a contemporary blend. Moreover, Ballantine’s flavour is made from 50 single malts, 4 single grains and even the fingerprint malts from Miltonduff and Glenburgie,  yet the overall flavour is balanced because no single component dominates.

Tasting Notes:

Nose (undiluted): ripe pears jump out immediately, followed by some light oak notes, with a faint hint of honey.

Palate (undiluted): medium-bodied, creamier than I expected, some vanilla, cinnamon, more pears, ripe banana, and a slight hint of peat smoke near the end.

Finish: Short to medium length, light peat smoke, raisins, oak, with a vanilla note lingering
