So where does the Ballantines 17 Year Old Whisky stand in the MyBottleShop Scotch Whisky Collection? The answer is that the Ballantines 17 Year Old is one of the finest blended whiskies in our growing collection and one of an elite group of which we are most proud. But we're not the only ones who think this is special with this wonderful blend picking up the World Whisky of the Year award in 2011 from whisky guru Jim Murray. The secret behind the incredible success of the Ballantines 17 Year Old Whisky is its extra depth of flavour and a unique fruity and velvety texture which derives from the fresh fruits used in the making of this spirit. Manufactured by Pernod Ricard in Dumbarton, Scotland, Ballantines has its beginnings in 1827 when founder George Ballantine set up a wine and spirits merchant business in Edinburgh. Now one of the most popular of scotch whiskies sold in the world, the distillery produces a range of expressions which includes the 17 Year Old. Recommended!Tasting Notes
