Ballatine’s is a blended whisky company that began life in its current form in 1865, when Archibald Ballantine began creating his own blends which he supplied to clients including the Hindu Royal Family.

Owned by Chivas, the Ballantine’s blend draws primarily from the single whisky malts of Glenburgie distillery, moreso these days after the sale of Ardmore distillery in 2005, which also contributed to the blend.

Ballantine’s blends are versatile and popular, enjoyable drunk neat or in a cocktail.
