Description

Established in 1827 by George Ballantine, this 21-year-old blended Scotch whisky is a decanter expression of Ballantine's legendary range. It is comprised of 50 single malts and four grain whiskies, drawing its flavor profile primarily from Speyside malts like Glenburgie and Miltonduff. Matured for a minimum of 21 years, with a higher proportion of whiskies aged in European oak barrels, it was introduced in 1993 by Master Blender Jack Goudy. This release is presented in an opulent blue ceramic decanter produced by the famous Wade Ceramics.
