- Description
- Ballantine's 23 Year Old is a mature blended Scotch where extended wood influence has deepened the house style into richer, fruit-forward territory. Vanilla, oak, apple, pears and peaches on the nose indicate strong cask maturation alongside subtle grain sweetness; the palate builds with honey, apple blossom, heather, orange and vanilla—a floral, orchard-driven profile. Suited to those seeking a softer, fruit-accented Scotch blend with genuine age maturity.
