Old Ballantruan Aged 10 Years Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
Volume: 700ml ABV: 50% Age: 10 Years Old Country: Scotland
Old Ballantruan is distilled using heavily peated malted barley in the traditional manner. After sleeping for 10 years in hand-picked oak barrels, this whisky is then bottled at 50% alcohol volume and has no artificial colours and is none chill-filtered in order to retain its layered and integrated peaty flavours.
The excellent combination of sweetness and peat is now bolstered by a little bit more maturity.
Official Tasting Notes
Nose: Gently spicy with smokey “peat-reek” deliciously balanced by a sweeter creamy core.
Palate: Some gentle peaty smokiness equipoised with a sweet, creamy, malty backbone.
Finish: Climbing finish of sweetness gradually replaced with smokey depth.
