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.
Choice of all friends because value for money.
Good value for money. Excellent taste especially on the rocks or with little water! My favorite.
Let me say you have to love the style of a speyside, highland style scotch...if you do... You'll love it. For the price nothing better. Sweet, vanilla, isn't of peat, honey, smooth! Smooth! Smooth!
Ballantine's finest is one scotch whisky which is really expressive and has a smooth and smokey taste,finish is sweet and tempting.
I DONT KNOW WHY THIS ISNT NO. 1 IT IS SUCH A LEASURE TO DRINK. IM GOING TO SMUGGLE TWO BOTTLES ON BOARD A CRUISE
