Description

Ballantine's Finest is a complex, refined, and elegant blended Scotch whisky, crafted from a selection of over 40 malt and grain whiskies from all four Scottish whisky regions. It has stayed true to its original recipe since 1910. This smooth and balanced whisky offers subtle sweet notes of milk chocolate, red apple, and vanilla, with hints of heather honey and a light touch of peat smoke. It is produced by Chivas Brothers, a subsidiary of Pernod Ricard, in Dumbarton, Scotland. The iconic square bottle design was introduced during Prohibition to allow salesmen to discreetly carry it in briefcases.
