Renowned Wood Artist Pays Homage to Ballantine's Whisky Maturation Process
As part of Ballantine’s new Signature Oak series.
For the first of two Signature Oak Limited Editions exclusively available in travel retail, Ballantine’s 21YO European Oak Edition showcases the characteristics and flavors that European oak contributes to the award-winning taste profile of Ballantine’s 21-year-old blend. To commemorate this unveiling, the innovative Korean woodworking artist, Lee Sam Woong, produced a unique sculpture that pays homage to the oak that plays a significant role in the whisky maturation process. The impressive sculpture is currently on showcase at Korea’s Incheon Airport, and will later be awarded as a lucky draw prize to one lucky Ballantine’s consumer.
With the European Oak Edition currently available at select duty free stores, be on the lookout for the American Oak Edition to reveal itself in the coming months.
