Česky (CZK)Ballantines 23YO 40% 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 23YO represents the pinnacle of elegance within the Ballantine’s range and stands among the most mature blended Scotch whiskies available. This exceptional blend is crafted from carefully selected malt and grain whiskies, each aged for a minimum of 23 years in high-quality oak casks. Extended maturation allows the individual components to integrate seamlessly, resulting in an exceptionally smooth, complex, and harmonious whisky. Ballantine’s 23YO displays a deep amber colour and a refined bottle design that reflects its premium status.
The aromatic and flavour profile of Ballantine’s 23YO is rich and layered. On the nose, notes of floral honey, vanilla, dried apricots and raisins emerge, complemented by hints of caramel and polished oak. The palate is velvety and smooth, delivering flavours of sweet toffee, candied fruits, milk chocolate and gentle spice. Elegant oak tones, subtle nutty nuances and a faint whisper of smoke gradually develop, adding depth without overwhelming the balance. The finish is long, warming and refined, with lingering sweetness, vanilla and softly spiced oak.
This whisky is produced by Ballantine’s, one of the world’s most renowned blended Scotch whisky brands, founded in 1827. Today, the brand is part of the Pernod Ricard group and is celebrated for its consistency and mastery of blending. Drawing on malt whiskies from leading Scottish regions such as Speyside and the Highlands, Ballantine’s creates blends that combine richness, balance and elegance. The 23YO expression exemplifies the highest level of this craft and is designed for those who appreciate maturity, depth and sophistication.
