Description:
This rare bottle of 12-year-old Ballantine’s blended Scotch was bottled, we estimate, in the 1980s and originally exported to Italy. It has now returned from its European tour and offers a chance to try Ballantine’s whisky from a time when the distillery used more malt in its blends and had a smokier profile. Ballantine’s was founded in 1827 by George Ballantine, who was just 19 at the time. The company was awarded a Royal Warrant from Queen Victoria in 1895 and is famous for its square bottles, which it first produced during Prohibition to ensure that businessmen could secrete them in their briefcases.
