Ballantine’s Gets All Oaked Up
Ballantine’s is offering two oaked-up whiskies – Ballantine’s 21-Year-Old Signature Oak Edition [European Oak] along with an American Oak Oak Edition to follow later on – exclusively for the travel retail sector. Ballantine’s 21-Year-Old Signature Oak Edition [European Oak] will have been matured in European oak casks that have previously held sherry. Bottled at 40% alcohol content [80 proof], Ballantine’s 21-Year-Old Signature Oak Edition [European Oak] is said to have notes of fruitcake, raisin and spice.
Ballantine’s 21-Year-Old Signature Oak Edition [European Oak] will be available for $225 per bottle beginning in December 2015.
