Ballantine’s 21 Year Old is creamy and has got a nutty influence coming from the oak cask that differentiates it from the 17 Year Old. Higher proportion of whiskies matured in European oak casks compared to the rest of the range, spicier and richer fruity finish. Rich, intense with concentrated ripe fruits and cinnamon spice. It has the finish of long and mellow with hints of dried fruits.
