Origin and Heritage
Ballantine’s 12 Year Old is a hallmark of Ballantine’s, founded in 1827 by George Ballantine in Edinburgh, Scotland, now under Pernod Ricard’s stewardship. Renowned as Europe’s top-selling Scotch by 1986, Ballantine’s is celebrated for its meticulous blending of over 50 single malts, primarily from Miltonduff and Glenburgie, with select grain whiskies. The 12-year-old expression, matured in high-quality oak casks, reflects the brand’s commitment to consistency and craftsmanship, earning accolades like a Silver Medal at the 2020 International Spirits Competition. Its rich history and global acclaim make it a prized choice for Nairobi’s whisky connoisseurs seeking a blend that marries tradition with refinement.
Taste Profile
Ballantine’s 12 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky (40% ABV) offers a complex, approachable profile, praised by dialadrinkkenya.com for its “complex taste of honey and floral flavors.” The nose captivates with sweet honey aromas, complemented by hints of oak, vanilla, and subtle floral heather. On the palate, it delivers a creamy, well-rounded texture, unveiling flavors of honey, ripe pear, creamy oak, and a touch of spice, with delicate notes of malt and cocoa. The finish is long, refreshing, and sweet, with lingering fruit and a gentle warmth. Best enjoyed neat, with a splash of water, or over ice in a tumbler glass, this whisky’s versatility enchants Nairobi’s hosts and collectors.
Ideal Pairings and Best Use Occasions
Ballantine’s 12’s balanced sweetness pairs exquisitely with Nairobi’s vibrant cuisine. Enhance its honeyed notes with grilled tilapia, nyama choma, or soft cheeses like brie for a refined tasting. For dessert, pair with vanilla panna cotta or dark chocolate to amplify its fruitiness. It shines in cocktails like a Whisky Sour or Scotch and Soda, making it perfect for Nairobi’s social events—think rooftop parties, wedding toasts, or festive season gatherings. Serve at 15–18°C to unlock its aromas. This whisky is a thoughtful gift for birthdays or promotions, with personalization options like custom engraving adding a bespoke touch.
