Ballantine's
launch 2014 limited edition golf packs.
With the 2014 golf season well under
way, Ballantine’s has announced the 2014
release of its popular Limited Edition
Golf Packs, available for its
outstanding 17 and 21 Year Old blends.
Ballantine’s has a long-standing
association with golf, dating back to
1960. The Limited Edition Golf Packs,
first launched in 2012 reinforce the
shared values, provenance and heritage
between the renowned Scotch whisky and
one of Scotland’s most revered sports.
The 2014 packaging features the
silhouette of a golfer in full swing
with the Ballantine’s iconic ‘B’ in the
background, while the gold foil and
printing of the logo directly onto the
glass epitomises the superior quality of
both Ballantine’s 17 Year Old and
Ballantine’s 21 Year Old. The green
colour of the bottle and box of
Ballantine’s 17 Year Old links back to
golf courses, while the cream box
highlights the premium credentials of
Ballantine’s 21 Year Old.
Peter Moore, Ballantine’s Global Brand
Director, said: "We are excited to
release this year’s Ballantine’s Limited
Edition Golf Packs, which stay true to
our golfing heritage and support our
ongoing presence within the sport. The
packs have resonated well in the past
with both whisky fans and golfing
enthusiasts, and we expect the
consistently high quality of these
whiskies to ensure that this year’s
release is equally well received."
In 2013, Ballantine’s 17 Year Old was
named ‘Scotch Blend of the Year’ for the
fifth consecutive time in the 2014
edition of the much revered ‘Jim
Murray’s Whisky Bible’. The Scotch
whisky was given 97.5 points out of 100,
and was described by Jim as "one of the
most beautiful, complex and stunningly
structured whiskies ever created" and
"truly the epitome of a great Scotch."
Both the 17 and 21 Year Old were also
awarded gold medals in the 2013 Hong
Kong International Wine & Spirit
Competition.
The Ballantine’s Golf Limited Edition
Packs are available now in Asia Duty
Free, Korea, China, Taiwan and Poland.
Ballantine’s 17 Year Old will retail at
$78 and Ballantine’s 21 Year Old at $130
(USD).
