Description

Ballantine's 17 Year Old Scotch Whisky is a prestigious blended Scotch, first introduced in 1937, holding the distinction of being the world's first 17-year-old blended Scotch. It is crafted from a selection of over 40 single malt and grain whiskies, each aged for a minimum of 17 years in American oak casks. The blend features key malts from Glenburgie, Miltonduff, and Glentauchers, contributing to its layered and refined character. Ballantine's, established in 1827 by George Ballantine, is today owned by Chivas Brothers (Pernod Ricard) and is known for its balanced, complex, and smooth profile.
