Ballantine’s 17-year-old

Hey guys! How's it going?🙂.
.
Time for another review! It is Friday afterall 😄.
.
This time I have another interesting one, a blended scotch whisky: the 17yo Ballantine's 🥃.
.
This whisky is the most awarded 17yo blended scotch whisky in the world. The long maturation period adds depth and character to the blend. Characterized by subtle smoky notes and a velvety texture, the 17-year-old Ballantine's is definitely part of the high-quality range. The packaging is different, the glass being round, green, hinting at the slight though still present peatiness. The aromatic profile is quite complex for a blend, its notes being similar to those of a single malt.
.
Here is my review:.
.
Nose: Strong vanilla extract, smokey and oakey.
.
Palate: Sweet with strong vanilla notes. Woody and a hint of licorice.
.
Finish: Long, sweet and spicy.
.
Color: Amber gold.
.
Now, you known by know that I'm more of a single malt guy, a purist, if you will 😄. But I have to say, this is a very good blended scotch 👌🏻🥃.
.
So what do you guys think about this one? Have you tried? Did you like it? Would love to know your thoughts on this one 😊.
.
Cheers guys and have a great weekend!✌🏻️🥃✨😄.

Andrei Muresan

My name is Andrei, Andrei-Paul Muresan. I’m an IT professional, born in the wonderful year of 1982, in the heart of Transylvania (for people who don’t know, the heart of Transylvania is a city called Cluj-Napoca, located in Eastern Europe, in Romania to be more exact). Here’s a photo of me, just to put a face to the name 😉 I mentioned Transylvania because most people are more likely to know where Transylvania is and not where Romania is 🙂 oh and by the way, vampires, they’re just ghost stories, sorry to disappoint everybody. As you might expect, given my profession, I’m passionate about technology and everything that surrounds it, but I am also a great spirits fan, and when I say spirits I mean scotch, whisk(e)y and cognac, and I also enjoy a good cigar (I never say no to a good cigar). I like to mix all that with a good tune and also a good game, I own a couple of game consoles. I am, by no means, an expert in the scotch/whisk(e)y/cognac/cigar world, but I am keen on learning everything there is to know about it, so I’m launching an invitation to you, to join me in this virtual journey as we learn together.
