| Tasting Notes :
This bright, golden single malt Scotch whisky is aged in ex-Bourbon and Spanish Sherry oak casks and is sheltered by tall, ancient trees lining the Victorian Gardens of the Glen Grant Distillery. With a soft aroma of fruit and honey, our golden liquid is matured until it achieves its signature complex elegance for which The Glen Grant has been celebrated for over 180 years. Arboralis delivers notes of creamy toffee and ripe pears, finishing with a long, statisfying hint of delicate spice. With an ingenious mind and a charismatic personality, James Grant personally designed innovative tall slender pot stills with unique water-cooling purifiers to achieve his vision of seductively smooth, fruity, rich, superior single malt.ABV : 40% |

COLOUR: Golden amber. When you at first open the bottle, sherry and toffee notes float up. The Ballantine’s 17yo makes long thick oily fingers in the glass. NOSE: After the initial sherry sweetness, the nose brings notes of tropical fruit, pineapple and banana. There are hints of oak and cereal at the back. The nose is complex, luxurious and creamy. PALATE: The Ballantine’s 17yo is incredibly smooth. The palate brings notes of creamy oak and spice. There are hints of vanilla sweetness balanced with little bits of smoke. It is a complex whisky that reminds us of liquid gold. Drinking this Ballantine’s 17yo is an amazing experience. FINISH: Long and lingering with fruit and hints of sweetness, oak and spice at the end. This blended whisky is impressive. |
The 19 Year Old is the first PX Sherry expression that Bladnoch has released. The flavourful casks have imparted delectable notes of dark liquorice sticks, dried apricots and warming nutmeg into the golden-hued whisky.
