What makes this whisky so special

Glenburgie 17 Year Old is the first release from our Whisky Club Series of Ballantine’s Signature Malts; three unique single malts that will take Members on an exclusive journey behind the iconic Ballantine’s blend.

It’s the first time the world’s first and most awarded 17 Year Old blended whisky, the legendary Ballantine’s 17 Year Old, has been broken down into single malts, then specced up to a voluptuous 48% ABV and bottled in all its pure whisky glory, non-chill filtered and natural colour.

To bring you this incredibly rare Glenburgie Single Malt, we teamed up with Sandy Hyslop, one of the most accomplished Master Blenders in the industry with nearly 40 years of experience, and just the fifth Master Blender to take full responsibility for the Ballantine's Blend.

Sandy’s responsible for the maturation of over six million casks in 300 warehouses, the majority of which are set aside for the existing Ballantine’s range. There’s still plenty left to experiment with though, and he’s selected the very best casks in his inventory that demonstrate the jammy and fruity Glenburgie profile to create the Glenburgie 17 Year Old for the Club.

Ballantine's Glenburgie 17 Year Old showcases their most closely guarded single malt... its creamy milk chocolate, juicy mandarin and chewy honeycomb amped to high heaven with notes of this is damn serious Scotch if I ever tasted it, and is unheard of value for a whisky of this age and pedigree at $140.

This was the start of an epic collaboration between Australia’s biggest community of whisky lovers and one of the biggest names in whisky.
