Ballantines review

Ballantine's Finest. This is the point where I try my hardest to (in the words of the great Yoda) "unlearn what I have learned!" I'm trying to put about 6 years or so of drinking many, MANY whiskies to one side and try to review a whisky from a beginners point of view. This, to a certain extent, has been the theme throughout this series but...it seems that with Ballantine's here...I'm really trying to find my inner newb.....

...with little success!!

Enjoy.
