Ballantines Finest whisky was Jim Murray's No Age Statement Blend of the Year with a whopping 96 points! The critic seems to have a real penchant for the brand, awarding the 17 year old expression a similar score. Ballantines Finest is a great all-rounder - easy-going and very flavoursome. A classic blend.
Expressive, crisp barley sugars. Touch of wood smoke, toffee.
Rich and sweet. Barley and caramel, very gentle peat.
Soft and sweet, fudge.

A very nice drop, reminiscent of a decent bourbon. Sweet with hints of peat and honey. Not one to be ignored.
An excellent blended. Treat it as a single malt- few drops of water, leave aside few minutes and enjoy. You won’t regret. As no age limit, I give 4,5
A pretty nice blended whiskey at a good price
I really like it!
You can get this for £15 on offer and it's absolutely banging at that price, a great blend. Always on my whisky shelf.
