Whisky on the Rocks

As the pinnacle in the Ballantine’s range, the 30 year old has been garnished with a simple cube of ice, in order to accentuate its natural depth and layers. Pour this scotch whisky on the rocks for the ultimate drink.

How to drink whisky on the rocks

Sometimes the best things in life are the simplest. And a whisky on the rocks is no exception. For the perfect serve, pour 50ml of your favourite scotch over a single large ice cube into a tumbler, the best glass for a whisky on the rocks. You can let it sit, give it a stir or get sipping. Either way, drink slowly and savour every moment.

Is it better to drink whiskey neat or on the rocks?

Straight up, with ice, in a cocktail – there’s no wrong way to drink whisky. It all depends on how you want to taste the golden liquid. Drinking whisky neat is a more impactful sipping experience – you’ll really taste every note. Whilst whisky on the rocks is slightly more mellow, allowing the ice to cool the whisky’s temperature and intensity. Try both ways and see which you prefer.

What is the best whisky to drink on the rocks?
