Scotch whisky brand Ballantine’s has unveiled Ballantine’s Light with an ABV of 20%.
Ballantine’s Light has been crafted by the blending team led by Ballantine’s Master Blender Sandy Hyslop, after months of experimentation with different whisky bases and additional flavours. The new spirit drink is specially designed to deliver on taste even at a lower ABV, with the result being a high-quality, lower-alcohol alternative with distinct citrussy aromas and all the depth of character of the Ballantine’s range.
Sandy Hyslop, Ballantine’s Master Blender, commented, “We wanted to offer Scotch fans an alternative, more mindful drinking option, and were inspired by our founder George Ballantine who, as early as 1827, was innovating and breaking conventional codes of whisky.”
However, UK drinkers may have to wait a bit longer as at the moment it is exclusively for the Spanish market.
