Ballantine`s 40 Year Old is an extra-aged, limited-edition blended Scotch whisky produced by Pernod Ricard. With just 100 bottles of the whisky released each year, this highly collectible whisky was produced to celebrate Ballantine`s master blenders past and present. Every drop come from casks laid down by former master blender, Jack Goudy, including rare whiskies from long since mothballed distilleries. These were blended by Goudy`s successor, Sandy Hyslop. Presented in an elegant wooden cabinet, Ballantine`s 40 Year Old offers complex notes of fruitcake, cinnamon and ginger, with hints of toffee and ripe apple on the long, harmonious finish.

Ballantines Blended Scotch

Ballantines Blended Scotch

The Ballantine's brand traces its history back to 1827 when George Ballantine opened an Edinburgh grocers which offered a range of whiskies. George's son Archibald built upon his father's success, moving the business away from general grocery supplies and instead focussing exclusively on wines and spirits - it was at this time that the company began blending and bottling Scotch whisky.

Ballantine's reputation as a bottler of fine blends grew steadily and the early 20th century saw the brand go global, shortly after the founding family sold their stake. The whiskies range from the every day to the super premium and are generally based on malt spirit from Miltonduff and Glenburgie distilleries with grain sourced from Dumbarton, although each batch can contain spirit from over fifty different distilleries. 

The current Master Blender is Sandy Hyslop. Appointed in 2006, Sandy is only the 5th Master Blender in Ballantine's 180-year history.
