Ballantine's 17 Year Old is a blend favoured by many. It's vibrant, well-balanced, and properly packed with honey, apples, and biscuits, plus a hint of smoke.

This whisky proves that age statement means nothing. Even cheap NAS blends taste better. Good for mixing only. Should be avoided.
Having drank this overrated whisky I can not recommend it.even the old ballantines finest beats this.the metal cap.not the plastic cap.all the smoke has gone from the new ones.a bottle of ballantines used to mean something.
I reviewed this a while ago. Have bought 3 bottles and loved them. Bought a bottle tonight. It's harsh, thin and grainy. I cannot tell you how much I despise the thugs who are deliberately ruining the most respected industry on Earth. You will all rot in hell!!
Nose: not much to it, slight citrus, spice and a hint of mocca. Palate: oaky, medium smoke, quite sharp on the alcohol, very distant hint of peat. Finish: Dry, oaky, quite smoky, earthy/grassy hint. Overall really boring and thin. Not much to it.
If I could give it less than 1 star I would. Horrible stuff will never drink another ballantines again
