Ballantine's is a brand of blended Scotch whisky produced in Dumbarton, Scotland. It is the second biggest-selling Scotch in the world. Similar to Johnnie Walker, the brand has its roots in a small grocery store, this time set up in Edinburgh by farmer's son George Ballantine. In 1865, he opened a wines and spirits business in Glasgow, creating his own blends and developing an international client list. In 1937, Hiram Walker Gooderham & Worts became the majority shareholder and subsequently purchased the Glenburgie and Miltonduff distilleries to provide a staple supply of whisky for their newly acquired blend brand. The company also built a substantial grain distillery at Dumbarton. Ballantine's continued to prosper and in 1986 became the largest blended whisky label in Europe.
Rich and full-bodied it is super smooth. Bits of oak spice swirling around dried fruits and nuts. Dark chocolate and treacle lurk somewhere with suggestions of smoke. Each sip brings out different notes on the palette. The Ballantine’s 30 yo has a wonderful balance between spicy and sweet. Adding water softens the spices a bit and it is better without water.
