Ballantine’s 17 Year Old 1940s [Original Box]

A blended scotch aged for at least 17 years, bottled for the duty-free market by Geo. Ballantine & Sons. The bottle was presented with its original case. Bottle equipped with a screw cap and black foil seal.

Founded in Glasgow in 1827 by George Ballantine (a wine and spirits merchant), the company launched its first blend in 1865 at the instigation of the founder’s son. It later passed into the hands of the Canadian giant Hiram Walker, before joining Pernod Ricard. The malts primarily used in the brand’s various bottlings are Miltonduff and Glenburgie.
