Ballantine's 40 Year Old Rare Limited Release Blended Scotch Whisky 700mL

First launched in 2012, this rare bottle has a very limited release of only 100 bottles produced annually.

Each is packaged in a wooden box with the Ballentine's crest etched in silver, designed by renowned British silversmith Richard Fox.

This is the oldest expression in Ballantine's core range. Each component of this blended Scotch matured for at least 40 years, drawn from a selection of barrels amassed over multiple generations from various distilleries, many no longer in operation.

Each bottle is hand numbered – an incredibly complex whisky.

A true collectors item.
