A higher proof version of the standard Ballantine's, giving it a bit more flavor depth. Bottled at 43% ABV. On the nose, very direct. Vanilla, custard cream, cookie dough. Mostly sweet. On the palate, vanilla, herbal spices, tea, chocolate, caramel, and "melcocha." The aftertaste has a ginger note mixed with wisps of smoke. It's your typical Ballantine's, just with a little more kick. Overall, this is a 78/100 dram.
