Product description
Flavored Whiskies, or generally alcoholic beverages composed based on whisky, is a category that is experiencing enormous sales dynamics overseas in the 21st century.
Its leader, Jack Daniel's Tennessee Honey, records sales of 2 million cases per year and it is no wonder that European producers are trying to counterattack. After the great success of Ballantine's Brasil (Brazilian lime), blender Sandy Hyslop offered a taste of the tropics with the Ballantine's Passion edition (Exotic Fruits & Yuzu). The drink made its debut in 2019. The latest proposal of "flavored" Ballantines (2022) is Ballantine's Wild with cherry flavor. Ballantine's has been number two in the popularity statistics of Scotch whisky for years; it closed 2021 with sales of 8.7 million cases.
