Ballantine's is a brand of blended Scotch whisky produced by the Chivas Brothers subsidiary of Pernod Ricard in Dumbarton, Scotland.

The Ballantine's flavour is dependent on fingerprint malts[1][2] from Miltonduff and Glenburgie,[3] blended with 50 single malts and four single grains. The brand has won many accolades and awards for its products.[4]

The world's second highest selling Scotch whisky in 2021,[5] it has historically been strong in Southern Europe.[6]
