About the distillery

Distillery

Ballantine's

It began in Scotland in 1827. A farmer's son named George Ballantine opened a small grocery shop in Edinburgh and started supplying whisky to his customers. That side business grew into one of the best-known blended Scotch whisky names in the world, and the brand still carries his name today. Ballantines is a blend rather than a single malt. The recipe draws on around 50 single malts and four single grain whiskies from across Scotland. Two Speyside distilleries, Miltonduff and Glenburgie, sit at the heart of it and give the blend its smooth, gentle backbone. The quality earned royal approval early on. In 1895 the firm received a Royal Warrant from Queen Victoria, a rare endorsement for a whisky house. Now owned by Chivas Brothers, part of Pernod Ricard, Ballantines remains one of the biggest-selling Scotch whiskies on the planet.

About the Ballantine's Finest Moxxi's Bar Edition

Ballantine’s Finest Moxxi’s Bar Edition is a playful twist on Ballantine’s classic blended Scotch, launched in 2022 as part of a global collaboration with the video game Borderlands. The bottle features iconic character Mad Moxxi, and includes a QR code offering access to exclusive Borderlands 3 in-game skins. This limited edition is aimed at fans of both whisky and gaming culture. This expression uses the standard Ballantine’s Finest blend, which combines Scotch malt and grain whiskies from Speyside, Islay, the Highlands, and Lowlands. It is bottled at 40% ABV, chill‑filtered, and includes added colour—just like the regular edition. The character and flavour mirror the established Ballantine’s profile. In the glass, the whisky shows a light golden colour. On the nose, expect soft aromas of honey, vanilla, green apple, and subtle woody spice. On the palate, you'll detect a creamy mouthfeel with milk chocolate, red apple, toffee, light caramel and mild oak notes. It remains familiar and approachable to drinkers. The finish is gentle and refreshing, with floral tones and a sweet afterglow. It feels light, clean, and easy. This edition doesn’t offer a new recipe or flavour profile—rather, it’s a collector’s piece and pop‑culture crossover. The whisky itself is identical to Ballantine’s Finest, but the branding and game‑related content add novelty. This is best suited to drinkers who appreciate mainstream blended Scotch and fans of limited-edition pop-culture packaging. It works well neat, on ice, or as a novelty gift. The added in-game extras and branded label make it more collectible than flavour‑forward. Perfect for Borderlands fans or anyone looking for a fun, giftable blend with a twist.
