Description
Seven Years, Then Finished in Bourbon Barrels
The newest addition to the Ballantine's range, and the idea behind it is straightforward: take the depth of Scotch and add the sweetness bourbon barrels give.
Seven years of maturation, then a finishing period in ex-bourbon casks. American oak that has held bourbon brings vanilla and caramel — here it shows as toffee apple over the familiar Ballantine's character.

How It Differs From Ballantine's Finest
An age statement and a bourbon-cask finish. Finest is the everyday blend — light, smooth, built for mixing. The 7 Year Old adds sweetness and body from the American oak, which makes it the better bottle for drinking over ice.
How to Serve
Over a large cube, where the toffee and caramel show best. It also works in a highball, and makes a sweeter Old Fashioned than a standard blend would.
Perfect For

- Sipping over ice
- Gifting — an age statement at an accessible price
Food Pairing
