Ballantine's 17 Year Old is a high-quality blended Scotch whisky composed of more than 40 malt and grain whiskies aged at least 17 years. This long aging gives the distillate a complex and harmonious flavor profile, with sweet notes of honey and vanilla, light nuances of smoke and oak, and a lingering, smooth finish. The color is golden amber, while the taste combines balance and depth, making it ideal both to be enjoyed neat and on special occasions.
