I have 2 bottles of Ballantine's perfect,that i found in my uncles cellar and i think they are of the ^60 because one was in a gift box together with a champagne bottle dated 1962 and in a shop in Italy they told me are very old.
1 Ballantine's 12 years old
1 Ballantines Finest
is there anybody that can help me to find the right age?(i can mail pics)
Is there anyone interested to buy?
Thank you
Erika

Hi Erika

A bottle of Ballantines Finest from the 1960's looks like this:

A bottle from the 1950's with a box looks like this:

Both of these are currently available to buy from The Whisky Exchange for Â£225, but this is a shop price so you would probably be looking at half that amount in a private sale, around Â£110

Hope that helps.

Today one expert of whisky confirmed me that my bottles of Ballantine's comes from the '60 even if the bottles imported to Italy have some difference in the label. They are in perfect shape is there anyone interested to make an offer?
thanks Erika
