Ballantines Gold Seal Special Reserve Whisky 12 Year Old

Colour

Rich amber-gold with warm honey undertones and a coppery, sunlit glow.

Nose

Opulent sherry-tinged nose with dark raisin, fig and cherry fruit, lifted by orange zest. Rich toffee and vanilla mingle with toasted almond, cocoa nib, and warm oak; a whisper of spice—nutmeg and cinnamon—adds depth and refinement.

Palate

Silky and balanced on the palate, with velvety vanilla, creamy toffee and hints of dried fruit. A touch of sherry-soaked raisin and almond mingle with light oak and spice, delivering a refined, mouth-coating sweetness and a smooth, lingering warmth.

Finish

Silky and long, the finish coats the palate with vanilla and toffee, then carries dried fruit and almond through a frame of oak. A subtle sherry kiss adds depth, yielding warm spice and dark chocolate that linger with elegant, refined persistence.
