Ballantine’s 17 Year Old is a blend favoured by many, including Jim Murray, who awarded it Scotch Blend of the Year 2010, and who can blame him? It’s vibrant, well balanced and properly packed with honey, apples and biscuits with a hint of smoke.

The ABV of this bottling sits at 40% ABV, which is slightly lower than the regular Ballantine’s 17 Year Old, which is 43%.
