THE WHISKY
The Blended Scotch Whisky 30 Years Old from Ballantine’s is the result of the union of rare whiskies aged for at least 30 years, some of which come from distilleries that no longer exist. With a deep golden yellow color, it opens on the nose with delicate fruity aromas including pear juice and peach, accompanied by notes of vanilla, honey, and slight smoky hints. On the palate, it is complex and powerful, with floral and fruity notes leading to a pleasantly long and spicy finish. A whisky to reserve for important occasions due to its exclusivity.
THE DISTILLERY
George Ballantine started his business at the age of only nineteen, later passing on his blending experience to his sons George II, Archibald, and Daniel, as well as to his grandson George III. They all contributed to forging the undisputed reputation of their whisky. In 1895, Ballantine & Son even received an honor from Queen Victoria, the highest recognition as a testament to the company's prestige. The first blended whisky from the Ballantine’s family was the Finest, in 1910, which still stands as the oldest recipe in the current product range. Every day, nearly 200,000 bottles of Finest are sold worldwide, demonstrating a quality that endures over time.
The next master blender was George Robertson, who was not a member of the Ballantine family. Having inherited this role after World War I and 13 years of prohibition, he found himself with a vast number of casks of aged whisky. George Robertson created the first 17-year-old scotch (which still holds the reputation of being the most renowned) and the prestigious Ballantine’s 30.
Jack Goudy continued our tradition of excellence with the 12-year-old blend. He also taught the craft to two future master blenders, ensuring a long life for the quality of Ballantine’s products. Jack explained to his apprentices the importance of sourcing the best scotch and aging them in the finest American oak casks. Since then, new American oak casks arrive every year, guaranteeing the high quality and flavor as always.
Robert Hicks, a perfectionist in the world of whisky, was the first talent to blossom from Goudy’s teachings. Before becoming the master blender, he worked with Jack for 24 years. His sense of smell for whiskies was known to all.
Sandy Hyslop, the current master blender and the second talent trained by Goudy, loves to introduce novelties at Ballantine’s. Extremely prolific professionally, he is responsible for the introduction of new whisky flavors, such as those of Ballantine’s Brasil and Hard Fired. Sandy has also introduced Ballantine’s 40, a product of which he is particularly proud, as well as the ultimate expression of aged whisky within the range. Sandy, with his approach based on continuous and firsthand observation of the product (sniffing about 250 samples every day) defines the direction of Ballantine’s.
Thanks to the influence of these five master blenders, Ballantine’s is now the number 1 scotch whisky in Europe and number 2 in the world. Currently, Ballantine’s has the most complete range of aged blended scotch whisky of quality in the world.
