Ballantine's 12 Year Old Gold Seal Whisky Purchased as a souvenir in Hawaii 17 or 18 years ago and stored unopened since then. It has not been stored in a poor environment. As the photos show, there are no sediments, and the appearance suggests no deterioration in quality. However, I am not an expert, so I cannot guarantee the quality. Please understand this before considering a purchase. Type... Scotch Whisky
