Ballantine’s Finest is a complex, refined and elegant blended Scotch whisky with a taste of modern style. As the second best-selling Scotch blended whisky in the world with the tradition since 1827 is a sophisticated, refined and elegant mix of more than 40 thoroughly selected whiskies. The maturing stage of all these whiskies takes at least 3 years. It is characterized by fine aroma of heather honey with a touch of spices and light gold color.
The unforgettable flavor of Ballantine’s with nuances of sweet types of whiskies from distilleries Miltonduff and Glenburgie is greatly balanced, mild with tones of milk chocolate, apple and vanilla. None of these ingredients dominates. Ballantine’s Finest has light gold color and smells gently and deeply elegant after heather honey with a hint of spices.
You can drink it on the rocks or as an ingredient of a long drink, f. e. with cola.
Why is the bottle square in shape? Most likely during the prohibition the bottles were designed square shaped so the American salesmen could hide them well from the police – one or two in their briefcases. Thanks to the design the bottles weren’t rolling nor rattling. A distinct and unusual shape of the iconic bottle Finest is used till now, but you shouldn’t hide it in your briefcase anymore!
