Ballantines Scapa Limited Edition 17 Year Old Blended Scotch: is exactly the kind of whisky you’d want when while relaxing in your den. On the nose: there is a very strong waft of malt and spices – followed up by honey and citrus; giving the impression of a lemon honey drizzle cake. palate: on the first sip you’ll notice some medicinal and peaty notes. However, on the second sip it starts to get very sweet, with a suggestion of spices and orange; in fact you may start to get a taste of marzipan. The finish: has quote a moderate alcohol kick and a light taste of liquorice.
The verdict: I was genuinely shocked at the amount of tasty notes this blended whisky produced. It actually starts to become quite moreish. Although this is not a single malt scotch, it has to be enjoyed straight, or with a very small amount of mineral water to allow the flavours to breathe.
