Ballantine's 10 American Barrel is a new 10 year old whisky from the Ballantine's family.
Ballantine's 10 American Barrel offers a quality option from the most premium segment of whisky, combining the two worlds of Scotch whisky and American style.
The distillery's latest addition, Ballantine's 10 American Barrel, has been aged for 10 years and finished in bourbon casks, combining the depth of Scotch with the sweetness of bourbon to give you the best of both worlds. A whisky with all the character of Ballantine's, but with an added hint of apple and caramel thanks to the bourbon cask finish.
A whisky that has moved on a little, Ballantine's 10 Americana Barrel has absorbed the richness of another culture and become sweeter for it. This new addition to the Ballantine's family remains true to its DNA with the characteristic notes of red apple, heather honey and vanilla, but with a different twist, perfect for when you want to go a little further while still enjoying Ballantine's.
Ballantine's 10 American Barrel is made to be enjoyed with friends you can count on one hand. Perfect for opening it up during an evening at home or kicking back and enjoying it in a bar while catching up. It's made to enjoy the rhythm of easy chats and good conversation.
Our favourite way to enjoy this new Ballantine's is in an Old Fashioned, with a couple of dashes of orange bitters to complement the sweet notes of the whisky. But we also know it's great on its own or on the rocks, or with a premium cola for extra refreshment.
