Description

Ballantine's Finest is a well-established Scottish blended whisky, with a recipe dating back to 1910. It is produced by Chivas Brothers (a Pernod Ricard subsidiary) in Dumbarton, Scotland. This non-age statement blend combines over 40 malt and grain whiskies, including 'fingerprint malts' from Miltonduff and Glenburgie, sourced from all four Scottish whisky regions: Speyside, Highlands, Islay, and Lowlands. The whiskies are primarily matured in American oak (ex-bourbon) and European (ex-sherry) casks. It is known for its smooth, balanced, and approachable character, making it an accessible entry point into the Ballantine's range. [1, 4, 9, 12, 13, 15, 16, 19, 21, 22, 24, 25, 28, 29, 30, 31]
