Malbon 21 Year Old

About

Ballantine's partnered with golf lifestyle brand Malbon in 2026 to create this exclusive 21-year-old blend, released solely through Korea's travel retail channels. The collaboration brings together two heritage brands, each with its own tradition of refinement and design. The blend draws on distillates from Miltonduff and Gleburgie, matured in bourbon and sherry casks. After two decades in wood, it delivers the signature Ballantine's character—a house style shaped since 1827 by founder George Ballantine—now deepened by age and cask influence. The nose opens with honey, wild flowers, and vanilla, followed by white chocolate and charred wood. The palate reveals rich caramel and toffee, with hints of bitter orange peel and milk chocolate, warmed by European oak spice. Smooth and layered, it demonstrates what two decades of maturation can achieve.
