Tasting Note

About The Scotch Whisky:

A Limited Edition Signature Distillery Expression from Ballantine's, Scapa is one if the iconic malts in Ballantine's. To honour this the master blender has specially created this signature 17-year-old blend. Ballantine’s 17 Year Old is a blend of more than 40 different malt and grain whiskies from all over Scotland, but Scapa, Glenburgie, Miltonduff and Glentauchers stand out as having played a monumental role in the blending process of our master blenders over the years.

Tasting Notes:

￭ Appearance: Light golden
￭ Bouquet: It is a riot of ripe fruit, marshmallows, toffee, cherries and raisin pudding. In the background, there are faint hints of salt, seaweed and smoke. There is a wonderfully rich, complex, layered nose to this whisky.
￭ Palate: There is sweetness, followed by loads of spice and oak. There is fruit sweetness balanced with toffee, smoke and warming spices. Even without water, this whisky is delicious and smooth. A huge mouthful. The addition of water further transforms this dram. It becomes rich and creamy and absolutely brilliant.
￭ Finish: Long and lingering, and build slowly. It ends in the perfect balance of sweetness and spice.
