Česky (CZK)Ballantines 17YO 43% 0,7l
Skotsko je kolébkou whisky a světovým lídrem v její výrobě. Je rozděleno do několika regionů – Highlands, Lowlands, Islay, Speyside a Campbeltown – z nichž každý má svůj charakteristický styl. Skotská whisky (Scotch) se vyrábí převážně z ječmene a musí zrát minimálně tři roky v dubových sudech. Je známá svou rozmanitostí chutí, od lehkých a květinových až po silně rašelinové. Významné značky jako Glenfiddich, Lagavulin nebo Macallan pocházejí právě odsud.

Ballantine’s 17YO is one of the world’s most iconic and respected blended Scotch whiskies and is widely regarded as a benchmark for mature blends. It is created by carefully marrying malt and grain whiskies that have been aged for a minimum of 17 years in quality oak casks. Extended maturation allows the components to integrate seamlessly, resulting in a smooth, complex, and exceptionally well-balanced whisky. Ballantine’s 17YO displays a rich golden to amber colour and a classic bottle design that reflects its timeless elegance.
On the nose, Ballantine’s 17YO reveals aromas of floral honey, vanilla, dried apples and pears, accompanied by a gentle hint of smoke and polished oak. The palate is silky and refined, delivering flavours of creamy toffee, malt sweetness, dried fruit and soft spices. Subtle notes of liquorice, almonds and delicate smoke gradually emerge, adding depth while maintaining harmony. The finish is long, warming and sophisticated, with lingering sweetness, vanilla and a refined smoky undertone.
This whisky is produced by Ballantine’s, a historic Scotch whisky brand founded in 1827 and now part of the Pernod Ricard group. Ballantine’s is renowned for its expertise in blending and its use of high-quality malt whiskies from regions such as Speyside and the Highlands. The 17YO expression has received numerous international awards and remains a flagship example of balanced maturity, showcasing the brand’s commitment to consistency, depth and elegance.
