Ballantines Deluxe Scotch Whisky 18 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber-gold with coppery highlights and a warm mahogany edge, a radiant sunset glow.

Nose

Opulent nose of aged sherry and polished oak, with fig and raisin expanding into dark plum. Cocoa, toffee and orange zest mingle with vanilla and almond, while a refined spice from the cask threads through. A faint leather-tobacco note adds elegance and a long, dignified finish to the aroma.

Palate

Velvety and measured on the palate, this 18-year Ballantines reveals rich fig and raisin fruit, threaded with dark chocolate and orange zest. Sherry influence coats honeyed vanilla and toasted oak with delicate spice, building to a long, refined finish that lingers with warmth and subtle complexity.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish with sherry-driven sweetness. Dried fig, orange zest and cocoa unfold over toasted oak, with a ribbon of spice. Velvety warmth lingers, fading to almond and a subtle tobacco note as the warmth slowly recedes.
