- Description
- This limited edition Ballantine's was bottled in 2003 to mark the Queen's visit to Allied Distillers, capturing the blender's art at a specific moment in time. The blend delivers Ballantine's characteristic balance of smooth grain and rounded malt with notes of honey, light spice, and vanilla from careful cask selection. Full-bodied and warming despite its moderate strength. A commemorative bottling with appeal to collectors and those seeking a well-crafted, unpretentious blend.
