From Ballantine's, a name synonymous with blended Scotch whisky, comes "Ballantine's 17 Year Old Tribute Release Limited Edition," a special product developed exclusively for Japan by the current 5th generation Master Blender as "a 17-year-old Ballantine's that he wanted to bring to the modern era," which will be released on Tuesday, October 9th.
To commemorate the launch, Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building 8th floor = Isetan Men's Residence/Charlie Weiss will be holding a special Ballantine's event from Wednesday, October 17th, where visitors can also enjoy tastings.

Sandy Hyslop, the current 5th Master Blender

The passion and dedication of the 5th generation Master Blender

With its beautiful amber color, almost golden, and fruity aromas of ripe peaches and oranges, the taste is sweet like honey, and it offers a sweet and long finish with perfect balance. The Japan-exclusive, limited-quantity "Ballantine's 17 Year Old Tribute Release Limited Edition" is made using a non-chill-filtered method that does not involve chill filtration, and maintains an alcohol content of 48%, allowing you to enjoy the luxurious and rich flavor derived from the original spirit.

Since its creation in 1937, Ballantine's 17 Year Old has the longest history as a "17-year-old Scotch" and is known as "The Scotch" for its high quality. Sandy Hyslop, the current 5th Master Blender and recipient of the "Master Blender of the Year" award, has added his creative vision to the inherited history, resulting in a luxurious creation that is different from the regular Ballantine's 17 Year Old.

Enjoy a luxurious finish, just like a bespoke suit.

While regular Ballantine's 17 Year Old primarily uses American oak casks for maturation, the "Ballantine's 17 Year Old Tribute Release Limited Edition" also uses European oak casks and first-fill American oak casks, maintaining an alcohol content of 48% to achieve the luxurious and rich flavor of the original spirit.

Following in the footsteps of Sandy Hyslop's blending style, which emphasizes the harmony of diverse spirits, Ballantine's 17 Year Old Tribute Release Limited Edition offers a smooth and rich finish with fruity flavors and a balanced blend of creaminess and spiciness.

Experience the "special Ballantine's 17 Year Old," a Japan-exclusive, limited-quantity edition that embodies Ballantine's pride, with a design inspired by the original 1937 product, and a red cap and label that match the red of the crest. Enjoy it at Charlie Weiss, 8th floor of the Men's Building Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building .
