Matured for a minimum of 17 years in hand-selected oak casks, this luxurious blend possesses a deep golden amber color and a remarkably complex nose of oak, vanilla, and sweet honey with a delicate hint of peat smoke. It delivers a full-bodied, velvet-smooth palate packed with rich honey, creamy vanilla, sweet liquorice, and a long, beautifully balanced herbal and smoky finish.

Taste: 5/5Value: 5/5
“Absolutely spectacular! Visited a local outlet in Gachibowli and picked up Ballantine's 17 Years Blended Scotch Whisky. At ₹8,800 in Hyderabad, this represents incredible value. The notes of Deep Golden Honey and Rich Creamy Vanilla pair phenomenally well with home-cooked Hyderabadi Mutton Biryani. Highly recommended!”

“A highly sophisticated Scotch Whisky by Ballantine's. Wonderfully smooth on the throat with subtle hints of Deep Golden Honey and Toasted Oak Wood. Serving this neat during a family gathering in Jubilee Hills was a major hit, especially alongside local Pathar ka Gosht!”

“I'm thoroughly impressed by Ballantine's's execution here. The palate is extremely rich with a refined finish highlighting Rich Creamy Vanilla. At the Hyderabad price of ₹8,800, it's easily one of the best choices in its segment paired with Baked Sandesh.”
