How this product is made

Selection of Whiskies: The master blender at Ballantine’s carefully selects various malt and grain whiskies from different distilleries, each offering unique flavors and characteristics.

Malt Whiskies: Malt whiskies are made exclusively from malted barley and typically contribute robust and complex flavors.

Grain Whiskies: Grain whiskies are made from grains like corn, wheat, and barley and tend to be lighter and more neutral in taste.

Blending: The selected malt and grain whiskies are then expertly blended in precise proportions to create Ballantine’s Finest. The goal is to achieve a consistent and well-balanced flavor profile in each batch.

Maturation: The blended whisky may undergo a period of maturation in oak casks to further develop its character and round out its flavors.

Bottling: After blending and maturation (if applicable), the whisky is carefully filtered and bottled, ready for distribution.
