Ballantine's 12 Year Old / Bot.1980s Blended Scotch Whisky

A 1980s bottling of Ballantine's 12 at 43% ABV — a time capsule from an era when blended Scotch had access to deep, mature stocks and the confidence to bottle at a proper strength. At £135, it's a genuinely accessible window into vintage Scotch.
