Ballantine"s Finest is a complex, refined and elegant blended scotch whisky. It is regarded as the taste to satisfy a modern style. The original flavour, complexity and refinement comes from more than 50 single malt flavours. The unmistakable Ballantine"s flavour is dependent on these 50 single malts, 4 single grains and in particular the fingerprint malts from Miltonduff and Glenburgie. It is balanced because no one single component dominates.. Nose:Perfumy. Very fragrant smokiness. Palate:Soft and light. Silky, oily peaty. A therapeutically medicinal relaxant. Finish:Lemon-honey. Some late sweeetness. Late surge of gentle warmth. Comment:Very gentle, but a precise clarity of flavours. Drink while listening to Vivaldi. Liquor
