Ballantine's 30 Year Old

Ballantines Ballantine's Finest / Bot.1950s

I picked up this 1950s bottling of Ballantine's Finest at the last LCBO/Waddington's spirits auction. At least, I think it's from the 1950s as the auction website is terrible and doesn't give any information whatsoever (I looked at some photos online and the closest match was from the 1950s). I presume this is 40%, though there is no ABV listed on...

Ballantines 12 Year Old

Blended whisky with alot goin on. Nutty honey vanilla, citrus fruit, smokey ash, on arrival then drops off to short uneventful finish. Great blend for all seasons.

Ballantines Finest

I taste Ballantines Finet 4 years ago and I don't remember very well the flavour of this blend. Like the Glen grant (but it's a single malt) it's not a wonderful whisky. It's appropriate like digestive after dinner or like correction with ice cream, or with cocktail. I'll taste the older version before to make a several review to this brand.

Score 40/100

Ballantine's Christmas Reserve

Ballantine’s Christmas Reserve has been prepared specifically with rich, deep, fruity notes that are intended to compliment the holiday season. This is actually the 2012 release that I bought...
