Ballantine's Description
Uisge-beatha is the name for whisky in Scottish Gaelic, with the word 'whisky' stemming from a mispronunciation of the word 'uisge'. Uisge-beatha literally translates as 'water of life'.
But where does Scotch come into this? Scotch is malt or grain whisky made entirely in Scotland and it's split into five distinct categories: single malt, single grain, blended malt, blended grain, and blended whisky. At Ballantine’s we’re blending malt and grain whisky from the four corners of Scotland. These include Speyside, Islay, Highlands, and Lowlands.
A blended Scotch whisky is the product of blending multiple single malt and grain whiskies, and making blended Scotch is anything but easy. It requires great skill, an alarming level of intuition, excellent palate memory and a great nose.
Throughout the history of Ballantine’s, hard work and passion for quality has always been present in our five master blenders. Each one of these blenders has looked after the continuity and quality of the Ballantine’s brand, staying true to the original family character of the Whiskies.

It opens with earth driven aromas of tree moss, cereal and wet stones, followed by ripe stone fruit, orange peel and cloves. The palate has a sweeter profile defined by baked apples, honeyed oats, and vanilla.
