Ballantines Whisky at Taperia La Mina — Premium Scottish Blended Whisky of Distinction
Our Ballantines Whisky at Taperia La Mina is a premium Scottish blended whisky that represents a step up in richness and complexity. Created by George Ballantines in 1827, Ballantines has grown to become the world’s second-highest selling Scotch whisky, renowned for its smooth, sweet, and satisfying character. At our restaurant in Benidorm, Ballantines is the whisky for guests who want something a little more refined and special.
The Ballantines Legacy
George Ballantines founded his grocery business in Edinburgh in 1827, and it was his son Archibald who truly established the whisky blending expertise that defines the brand today. Ballantines is known for its unique “chocolate sweetness” — a rich, honeyed flavor that comes from the careful selection of Speyside malts at the heart of the blend. The flagship Ballantines Finest is aged in oak casks that previously held bourbon, imparting vanilla, toffee, and subtle oak character.
How to Enjoy Ballantines
Ballantines Finest is remarkably versatile. Neat, it reveals layers of honey, creamy vanilla, toffee, and gentle spice. On the rocks, it opens up beautifully and becomes even smoother. Mixed with soda, it makes a refreshing highball. As a digestif, it is silky and warming — the perfect conclusion to a meal of Spanish tapas or a hearty main course at Taperia La Mina.
