Had this whisky with spicy starters. I liked the warm oak. The only drawback was that it stayed sharp even after resting. A solid four rather than a five.

I mostly tried Ballantines as part of a simple serve. The idea of nutty edge was there, but it stayed sharp even after resting. I finished the glass, but I wouldn't choose it again.
fruity - dry - smoothTried this whisky with a splash of soda. I liked the soft fruit; the vanilla note made it feel complete rather than heavy. One of the more enjoyable options I've tried in this category.
