Ballantine's4.7(480 reviews)
Ballantine's 12 Year Old is a rich, complex Blended Scotch Whisky crafted from hand-selected malt and grain whiskies matured for at least 12 years. Dominated by the Speyside single malts of Miltonduff and Glenburgie, it features a golden honeyed color and pours with smooth, cream-filled aromas of honey, summer fruits, and vanilla. A highly celebrated premium aged blend, it delivers a perfectly balanced, velvety-smooth palate of sweet oak, summer fruits, and a faint hint of spice.

“Absolutely spectacular! Visited a local outlet in Vasant Kunj and picked up Ballantine's 12 Years Blended Scotch Whisky. At ₹2,740 in Delhi, this represents incredible value. The notes of Creamy Honeyed Sweetness and Ripe Summer Pear pair phenomenally well with home-cooked Butter Chicken. Highly recommended!”
