Ballantines Deluxe Scotch Whisky Miniature 18 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber with a warm copper-gold glow, edged by mahogany-hued highlights.

Nose

Polished oak and vanilla unfold into a rich suite of dried fig, raisin and plum. Sherry influence adds cocoa, orange zest and espresso, with a whisper of leather and spice on a velvety, oak-forward nose.

Palate

Silky and richly layered on the palate, this 18-year Ballantines reveals dried fruits—raisin, fig, prune—paired with orange zest, vanilla and toffee. Sherry influence adds almond, cocoa and spice, finishing long and refined with gentle oak and a lingering fruit-forward warmth.

Finish

Elegant and long, the finish carries sherried fruit, dried fig and cocoa over silky oak, with a restrained spice that lingers into a refined, warming aftertaste.
