Ballantine’s 30 Years Blended Scotch Whisky [700ML]

Description

What defines true whisky mastery after three decades of patient maturation?

The Ballantine’s 30 Years represents the pinnacle of Scottish blending artistry, featuring rare malts from legendary distilleries including Miltonduff, Scapa, and Glenburgie. This ultra-premium expression stands as the oldest in Ballantine’s prestigious range, crafted in extremely limited quantities that make it as exclusive as expressions like The Dalmore 25 Years or The Dalmore 21 Years. Some component whiskies even originate from permanently closed distilleries, adding irreplaceable rarity to every bottle.
