Ballantine's 40 Year Old Chapter 2 The Waiting
Selected Rare Four-Decade Oak Hogsheads & Butts • 40.1% ABV • 700ml
Includes EU Spirits Excise Duty, VAT & Customs Cleared
Official Sommelier Tasting Notes
Ripe dark cherries, caramelized orange peel, antique leather, nutmeg, and aromatic agarwood.
Silky, unctuous layers of blackcurrant, dark toffee, mocha, cinnamon, and centuries-old cask wood.
Profound and meditative with lingering spiced honey, dark raisins, and delicate wood smoke.
Cellar Master Recommendation: Serve neat in a Glencairn glass at 18–20°C. Allow 1 minute of breathing per year of aging.
