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.
For the price, this is the best Blended Scotch whisky out there. Wonderfully textured, nice little touch of peat, some toffee notes, some fruit. Very good stuff.
Nice one
I used to like a wee dram not being too fussed about the label. And then I discovered Ballantine. I thought I had been given a free pass to heaven. I now need educating into the different blends!
