\nNamed Ballantine\u2019s Single Distillery, the expression was created by master blender Sandy Hyslop by blending grain whiskies from Strathclyde Distillery.<\/strong><\/p>\n
The Glasgow-based grain distillery has played a significant role in Ballantine\u2019s blends for decades.<\/p>\n
The new single grain release features a double cask finish, in rum and extra-charred American oak barrels, and is said to deliver fruity and floral flavours, such as white peach, charred pineapple, red apples, lemon zest and toasted almonds on the palate.<\/p>\n
Hyslop commented: \u201cOne of the things I enjoy most about my job as master blender is to be able to experiment and continue to push boundaries, just like our founder George Ballantine, who was doing things his own way and breaking conventional codes of whisky as far back as 1827.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cBallantine\u2019s Single Distillery was created to challenge perceptions of grain whisky and offers a whisky that really showcases the quality of the grain used. The addition of the double cask finish results in an exceptionally smooth Scotch, making for a refined drinking experience to savour during those finer moments in life.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Housed in an amber-coloured bottle with a metallic copper crest, Ballantine\u2019s Single Distillery is a permanent addition to the brand\u2019s range and will be available from November 2024.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Ballantines.jpg\")
