This latest release, has been created to for the growing number of spirit drinkers who want to cut down their alcohol consumption and drink more mindfully, without missing out on the social enjoyment of a drink shared with others.
Ballantine’s Light, which is the result of months of
experimentation with different whisky bases and additional flavours, is said to
deliver notes including juicy green apple, pink grapefruit and orange zest.
Commenting on the launch, Sandy Hyslop, Ballantine’s Master
Blender, said: “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.”
He went onto say: “Ballantine’s drinkers are known for their
great taste, so we worked tirelessly to ensure that Ballantine’s Light would be
light in nothing but alcohol. The result is a lower-ABV expression that is full
of flavour – and unmistakeably Ballantine’s – and reaffirms our belief that
there’s no wrong way to enjoy Ballantine’s”.
Ballantine’s Light, will launch exclusively in Spain later
this month, for a RRP of €12,45.
