Ballantine’s 17
Country: Scotland
Region:
Type: Blended Scotch
Bottler: Chivas Brothers
ABV: 43%
Score: 94 Points
The nose has soft spices, brine, and a hint of smoke with fresh berries for balance. The taste is complex, smooth, and luscious with traces of malt, berries, dark chocolate, vanilla, and a slight hint of smoke. The finish is nectar-thick and syrupy with a great blend of spice and smoky notes. Well worth your attention!
