Review by Old Ballantruan

Colour

Warm gold

Nose

Heathery smoke balanced with subtle floral notes

Palate

Gentle "peat reek" flavours with hints of citrus tones and malty nuttiness

Finish

Lingering smoke and peat with touch of malted barley sweetness

Note

"Old Ballantruan" Speyside Glenlivet Single Malt Scotch Whisky is only one of a handful of peated malt whiskies from the Speyside region.

After 'sleeping' for many years in hand-picked oak barrels, this whisky has been bottled at 50% volume and without any chill-filtration, to retain its layered and integrated peaty flavours.
