Description

Ballantine's 30 Year Old is a distinguished blended Scotch whisky, crafted from a selection of rare whiskies aged for at least three decades. It is described as powerful and luxurious with juicy pear and peach flavors, and a rich, sweet blend of incredibly rare whiskies. The spirit is created from a blend of fine malt and grain whiskies that hail from Scotland's most iconic distilleries, including Glenburgie and Miltonduff. After aging in European Oak casks for at least three decades, Ballantine's master blender Sandy Hyslop noses up to 250 different whiskies to create the signature blend. It has won numerous awards, including Gold at the International Spirits Challenge and high ratings from Jim Murray's Whisky Bible.
