The Miltonduff 17 Year Old
Created Exclusively for The Whisky Club
A stunning 17-year-old Scottish single malt at 48% ABV, Miltonduff is the hugely-anticipated second outing in the Ballantine’s 17 Year Old signature malt trilogy. A decadent feast of berries, cream and white chocolate created exclusively for the Club.

Miltonduff 17 Year Old is a true heavyweight with its chewy vanilla palate and long creamy finish. Created by the genius behind Aberlour, Glenlivet and Chivas Regal, this is the first time Miltonduff has been released in all its unadulterated glory, without chill filtering or colouring at 48% ABV. At $140 you simply won’t find a Scotch with these specs at such incredible value anywhere in Australia.
Nearly two decades in cask without any meddling has imparted Miltonduff 17 Year Old with a mind-blowing palate of plump juicy berries smothered in vanilla cream and shavings of white chocolate.
As Seamus Carroll, our buyer here at Club HQ, says, “This is a great age statement to have on your shelf without paying an arm and a leg for it.”
This is the second of three in our World Exclusive Ballantine’s Trilogy Series: the first-ever whisky collaboration in the whisky power brand’s centuries of production, where we unearth the three signature single malts that are key to the blended Scotch’s legendary tasting experience.
If you were lucky enough to pick up a bottle of June 2022’s hugely successful Club pleaser, Glenburgie 17 Year Old, you’ll be blown away by how distinctive these two whiskies are from one another.
Ballantine’s Director of Blending, Sandy Hyslop has already attained global success with previous Miltonduff bottlings: the distillery’s 15 and 19-year-olds both blew away the judges at the IWSC, bringing home gold.
