Description

This rare expression of Ballantine's 30 Year Old was bottled in 1972 exclusively for the Italian market. It is a historic Scottish blending company, founded in 1827, and is best-known for its Ballantine's blended Scotch brand. It was acquired by Hiram Walker-Gooderham & Worts in 1935 and is today a non-trading subsidiary of the Pernod Ricard group. The whisky contained was declared to be distilled prior to 1939.

Nose
Deep, soft, fruity aromas, elegant sweetness and vanilla oakiness, with notes of milk chocolate, hazelnut spread, orange peel, peppermint patties, and light, floral top notes.
Palate
A complex balance of honey, floral and fruity flavours with notes of vanilla, honeyed fruitcake, oak, and butter. It has a lush softness with caramel toffee, popcorn, and chocolate praline.

Long-lasting and elegant, with a whisper of peppermint.
