Taste & character

Aroma A soft and elegant bouquet of heather honey with a subtle hint of spices and a touch of oak.

Taste Rich and balanced on the palate. You taste a harmonious mix of milk chocolate, red apple, and vanilla. The texture is soft and approachable, with a very light, almost imperceptible smokiness in the background.

Finish A fresh, floral finish with a mild glow that leaves a refined and clean aftertaste.

Serving tips & combinations

The ultimate tasting moment

• Neat or on the rocks: An excellent whisky to drink neat or "on the rocks" to accentuate the fruity notes.

  
  

• In the mix: Combine 50 ml Ballantine's with Ginger Ale and a wedge of lime for a modern and refreshing long drink.

  
  

Food pairings

• Dishes: Surprisingly delicious with smoked ham or dishes with caramelised onion.

• Cheese: The perfect partner for Henri Willig Aged Gouda. The creamy texture of the cheese goes hand in hand with the honey-like notes of the whisky.

• Snack: A bowl of Marcos Tonda Delicatesse almonds provides a savoury counterpoint that brings out the light spiciness of the blend.

The perfect gift

• A thoughtful gift for whisky lovers and a strong choice for anyone who enjoys a bottle with character and a polished presentation.
