Buy Ballantine`s Whisky here at Home of Malts

Ballantine's is one of the best-selling blended Scotch whiskies in the world and for many of its fans a synonym for Scotch in general. The success story began in Scotland in 1827 with George Ballantine, the son of a farmer, who opened a shop in Edinburgh. The trade in wine and spirits developed well and the business was passed on to his son Archibald Ballantine. With an expansion to Glasgow, the company also began creating its own blended whiskies. Shortly after the death of George Ballantine, the company was given the great honour of being made a Royal Warrant to the Royal Family. What does Ballantine's taste like? The soft blended scotch impresses with its notes of vanilla and coconut. In older versions, you will find notes of honey, toffee and subtle spices. Around 50 single malts play a role in Ballantine's blend, but the three most important are Miltonduff, Glenburgie and Glentauchers. Today, Ballantines belongs to Chivas Brothers, which produces another major blended Scotch brand, Chivas Regal.
