BALLANTINE’S SPECIAL RESERVE 12Y 75CL
Ballantine’s Special Reserve 12-Year-Old Blended Scotch Whisky comes from George Ballantine & Son. The company has a rich history in Dumbarton. This whisky blends carefully selected malt and grain whiskies. Each whisky ages for at least 12 years in oak casks. The result is a smooth, full-bodied drink.
At 43% ABV, it delivers a rich experience. The whisky has a golden amber color. This color reflects its maturity and oak aging.
Tasting Notes
On the nose, it opens with honey sweetness. You can smell hints of dried fruit and oak. Subtle notes of vanilla and nuts appear as well.
On the palate, the whisky strikes a perfect balance. You taste malt sweetness with a hint of spice. Flavors of toffee and caramel stand out. Dried fruits add to the complexity. A slight smokiness lingers. The oak casks contribute a smooth, woody finish.
This whisky offers depth but remains approachable. It works well for both newcomers and seasoned whisky drinkers. Ballantine’s Special Reserve 12-Year-Old has coloring added. However, this does not affect its quality. It is perfect for sipping neat, with water, or in cocktails.
Ballantine’s continues to be a trusted name. The brand’s craftsmanship shines through in every bottle.
