Old Ballantruan 15 Years Whisky

Old Ballantruan 15 Year Old is a distinctive single malt Scotch whisky from the Tomintoul Distillery, part of its peated line, bottled at a robust 50% ABV (100 Proof) and non-chill filtered. Hailing from the Speyside region of Scotland, this expression offers a compelling balance between rich, sweet Speyside character and pronounced peat smoke.

Aged for 15 years, it presents a barley-gold colour and greets the nose with gentle peat-reek and mild gun-flint notes, softened by creamy malt and hints of herbal, heathery spice. On the palate, the smokiness is apparent but well-tempered by rich toffee sweetness, vanilla, and gentle oaky spice, creating a laid-back yet powerful profile. The finish is notably long and satisfying. It is an ideal dram for enthusiasts who appreciate a smoky Speyside malt, best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to appreciate its complexity.
