Ballantine’s Limited
Jim Murray: Best No Age Statement (Premium) Blended Scotch of 2016
A very rare & exclusive whisky of the highest quality. Creamy soft & smooth, characterized by ripe pear & peach, combined with rich vanilla flavors, this is a whisky which honors the continued traditions established by George Ballantine.
Nose: An initial gentle rich sweetness & softness that develops into an effervescence that brings out autumnal flavors. Sweet fruity pear and orange flavors intertwine with smooth, creamy toffee, together with hints of licorice and cloves.
Taste: The opening burst of flavor evolves into the complexity of luscious tastes that is the Ballantine’s hallmark – ripe pears, peaches and vanilla.
Finish: Incredibly complex, velvety smooth and creamy. Long and mouth-watering.
