Ballindalloch 'Aberdeen Angus 150th Anniversary' 50%

Ballindalloch Estate is not just famous for its long history of Scotch whisky production. It is also known globally for its pedigree herd of Aberdeen-Angus cattle, the oldest such herd in the world. Today, Aberdeen-Angus (‘Black Angus’) cattle are the second most successful breed globally and are bred around the world because of their exceptional beef quality. Given the longevity of the Ballindalloch herd, many of the animals bred around the world today can trace their ancestry back to those that have graced the fields in front of Ballindalloch Castle. This Single Malt is around 50% first fill ex-Sherry matured whisky and 50% first fill ex-Bourbon matured whisky. Colour: Bright gold. Nose: Fruit salad, ripe bananas and a hint of tangerine with some time open to air. Palate: Vanilla, milk chocolate and more fruit. Almost like a chocolate-covered raisin! Finish: Long with pleasant wood tannins coating the mouth. This whisky is available exclusively in New Zealand at Whisky Galore.
