Production method
Ballantine's is a blended Scotch: the final product is born from the union of selected malt and grain whiskies, matured in wooden casks and assembled by the master blender to achieve the desired profile. The group uses large stocks matured in bonded warehouses and dedicated bottling plants.
Distillation
For single malts traditional copper pot stills (wash still and spirit still, double distillation) are used; the blend combines malt and grain distillates produced with the techniques typical of each type, then assembled by the master blender.
Ageing
Maturation in wooden casks (mainly oak) in bonded warehouses; the minimum period for Scotch is 3 years, while Ballantine's maintains stocks aged for decades for some expressions.
Producer history Ballantine'S
Ballantine's began as George Ballantine's business in 1827 in Edinburgh and quickly developed into trade and maturation of whisky. During the 20th century the brand introduced historic labels like Ballantine's Finest and its aged expressions; it was granted a Royal Warrant in 1895. Today production and blending are managed by Chivas Brothers and the brand is part of Pernod Ricard, retaining warehouses and bottling facilities in Dumbarton, Scotland.
Production philosophy
The brand's philosophy centers on the art of blending: continuity of style, quality of raw materials and selection of malts and grains, entrusted to a succession of master blenders who maintain the consistent profile of the products. Ballantine's also promotes cultural initiatives related to music as part of its brand identity.
