Baked almond desserts liberally splashed with cream, light caramel, malted milk, and an invading cloud of smoke from newly ignited twigs: a lucky strike from a forest survivalist. On the palate, it is soft and blushing, with marmalade and warm butter, ground ginger, moving to chocolate orange, toffee, and Ovaltine. A whirl of spices and chunky chocolate round off this blend’s finish stylishly. This has all the hallmarks of a perfect nightcap.

Ballantine's is a range of blended scotch whiskies produced by Pernod Ricard in Dumbarton, Scotland. The world's second highest selling Scotch, it has historically been strong in Southern Europe, where it was among the first Scotches to gain a foothold in the market. It is not commonly found in the United Kingdom.
The heritage of Ballantine's Scotch whisky can be traced back to 1827, when farmer's son George Ballantine set up a small grocery store supplying a range of whiskies to his clientele. In 1865 George delegated the small grocery store’s operation to his eldest son, Archibald, while he opened a larger establishment in Glasgow. He concentrated on the wine and spirit trade, catering to clients which included the Hindu Royal Family.
Now into the 2000s, Sandy Hyslop joined Ballantine’s to create the whiskies of Ballantine’s future. He became the fifth master blender in 180 years, testament to his skills and commitment to the perfect blend.
