In 1827 the young George Ballantine left his native land to move to Edinburgh and market whisky. His distillate immediately enjoyed great success thus giving him the opportunity to become a Whiskey Blender and open a branch in Glasgow in 1867.
Ballantine's è un Blended Scotch Whisky created by 50 Single Malt It is 4 single grains; a complex liqueur, extremely refined and elegant, with a traditional taste that adapts perfectly to the modern one.
Light golden yellow in colour, it gives the nose refined aromas that smell like honey and heather, with a pinch of spice. The taste recalls subtle notes of milk chocolate and green apple, finely mixed with the sweetness of vanilla. The finish is soft, sweet and complex, capable of conquering the palate from the first sip.
