Out of stock
Ballantine’s has teamed up with legendary rapper, producer, actor, filmmaker, and Wu-Tang Clan member RZA for the release of its 2024 seven-year-old blend.
This exclusive, highly collectible whisky has been aged entirely in American oak barrels, which lend it rich aromas of toffee apples, vanilla, and honeysuckle. On the palate, expect layers of pear, caramel, and warming baking spices. The limited-edition bottle showcases a unique design inspired by RZA’s journey to Scotland, featuring a hand-written excerpt from a poem he composed during his first visit to Ballantine’s, as well as the unmistakable Wu-Tang Clan hands motif.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Glowing amber-gold with honeyed copper undertones.
Nose
Opulent, amber-sweet nose of toffee apples and vanilla cream, brightened by honeysuckle. American oak lends subtle spice and a silky orchard-fruit glow, with pear and caramel lingering in the background. A whisper of cinnamon and nutmeg adds warmth, while the bouquet remains elegant, balanced, and inviting.
Palate
Silky and fruit-forward on the palate, pear notes layer with caramel sweetness as warming baking spices unfurl through the mid-palate. Vanilla from the American oak and a touch of toffee underpin the finish, delivering balanced sweetness and comforting, lingering warmth.
Finish
A long, warm finish lingers with pear and caramel sweetness, edged by toffee apple and vanilla, followed by a gentle shower of baking spices. Soft, creamy oak and honeyed fruit fade gracefully, leaving a delicate, persistent warmth that invites another sip.
