Ballantine’s 7 American Barrel x RZA Limited Edition

For the fourth and final drop in our Ballantine’s x Rza partnership we have joined forces to release a limited edition bottle of ballantine’s 7 american barrel.

The first-ever bespoke bottle of Ballantine’s 7 American Barrel is inspired by RZA’s poetry written during his time spent at the Ballantine’s distillery in Scotland. The beauty of the surrounding green farmland, blankets of rolling clouds across Scottish Highland plains, and the whisky-making process inspired RZA to capture the experience in a poem that he then left in our founder, George Ballantine’s, library.

Ballantine’s 7 American Barrel x RZA Limited Edition epitomises Scotch whisky meeting American attitude. The label features an intricate pattern created from the handwritten words of RZA’s poem, complete with the iconic Wu-Tang Clan hands. 

The whisky itself is aged for seven years and finished in American oak barrels, expertly combining the depth of Scotch whisky with the sweet touch of American oak to give a true fusion of both Scottish and US cultures. Expect creamy notes complete with the classic vanilla and apple characteristics of the Ballantine’s signature style, as well as extra layers of sweet caramel coming from the American barrel.
