MANILA, Philippines—Whisky fans are in for a delightful treat as leading Scotch whisky Ballantine’s launches Ballantine’s 7 Bourbon Finish in the Philippines, a 7-year-old blended Scotch that takes on the sweetness of American bourbon.
Ballantine’s 7 Bourbon Finish is crafted from a selection of carefully chosen Scotch whiskies that are aged in oak casks for at least seven years before being finished in American bourbon barrels. This way, drinkers get the best of two whisky worlds together for an amazing and unrivaled taste.

The classic Ballantine’s tasting notes of honey and ripe red apple are enhanced with character and richness from the seven-year ageing process, and paired with the sweet hints of toffee, vanilla and caramel that are typical of bourbon whiskies. The 7-year-old blend is a tribute to founder George Ballantine, who, as early as 1872, was ageing and selling 7-year-old whisky, long before the laws on ageing Scotch for a minimum of three years came into effect. And now, nearly 150 years later, Ballantine’s has released its 7-year-old Scotch to show there’s still no wrong way to enjoy whisky.

“Ballantine’s 7 Bourbon Finish combines two whisky worlds to create a blend that is deep in Scotch character and finished with American attitude – making it the ideal for Scotch drinkers wanting to dabble in bourbon and for bourbon drinkers wanting to break into the world of Scotch whisky,” said Ethan Miln, Ballantine’s Global Brand Ambassador.
Ballantine’s 7 Bourbon Finish will be available in Landers and at other leading stores like Landmark, Pioneer, and online sites like Boozy.ph.
