Ballantine’s 21 Years Blended Scotch Whisky [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Scotch whisky that represents nearly two centuries of blending mastery and uncompromising quality?

Ballantine’s 21 Years stands as one of Scotland’s most celebrated aged blends, crafted from a carefully curated selection of 40-50 single malts and four grain whiskies. This exceptional expression showcases the artistry behind the world’s second-largest Scotch brand, with each component aged for a minimum of 21 years in European oak casks. The expertise rivals that found in premium single malts like The Dalmore 21 Years Highland Single Malt, yet offers the complexity that only master blending can achieve.
