Meaning and History
Whiskey production was the Ballantyne family business. They have been blending the drink according to the special recipes of the company’s founder, George Ballantyne, for over 90 years. The product mixes almost 60 ingredients. The basis is the grain whiskey brand Dumbarton. A range of single malts complements the bouquet. Each ingredient is at least 6 years old. Buyers highly appreciated the whiskey’s taste. Therefore, despite changes in ownership, the recipe, the emblem, and even the bottle’s appearance remained virtually unchanged throughout its existence. They keep the brand recognizable, emphasizing its style and endurance.
The brand’s emblem is Ballantine’s in italics. The combination of severity and elegance in its style symbolizes the drink’s distinctive taste, the harmonious blend of its components, and a delicate aftertaste. Most often, the inscription is placed on a cream background. The classic shade of the time the drink appeared. The cream is a sign of lightness. It shows that this brand of tape is pleasant to use. It is easy to drink because it does not have a sharp alcohol taste.
What is Ballantine’s?
This is one of the most renowned Scotch whisky brands, owned by Pernod Ricard. It produces high-quality blended whiskies that reflect the finest traditions of Scottish distillation. Each aged variety, including 12-, 17-, and 21-year-old whiskies, as well as the famous Finest blend, is distinguished by its complexity and character. By blending dozens of single malt and grain whiskies from across Scotland, the brand’s master blenders ensure a consistently smooth, refined taste across the lineup.
In addition to the logo, the brand has two distinguishing marks that are present on its products:
- a red circle with three interlaced first letters of the full name of the developer company: George Ballantine and Son (in a more modern version, one B);
- coat of arms.
The circle symbolizes a wax seal, showing hermetic closure, protection against counterfeiting, and belonging to the recipe Ballantyne and Sons. The seal is the hallmark of the oldest family member, Finest.
The drink received its heraldic attribute in 1938 from the monarchs of Great Britain. The coat of arms includes a helmet, a shield, two flags held by two horses standing on their hind legs, looking at each other. They symbolize the speed of the drink’s distribution and its conquest of popularity. Above the helmet, a griffin with a sword peeps out, a sign of power and might, because the drink is the second most popular among Scotch drinkers in Scotland. The whole structure rests on a piece of Scottish land with thistles growing on it. The image features many iconic symbols that convey the drink’s history and spirit. Particularly stand out:
- The image on the distillery’s emblem is a sheaf of wheat, barrels, and roads. They indicate the attributes of whiskey production and its transportation to different countries (in 1965, the owners stopped selling adhesive tape in their homeland and exported the entire volume).
- The inscription: “Amicus generis humani” (friend of the human race), because the brand has been accompanying people for many years and is appreciated worldwide.
- The flag of the Apostle Andrew, who is considered the patron saint of Scotland, the country of origin of Scotch tape.
Font and Colors
An uppercase font with a capital letter and monograms was used for the logo. It has the same name as the adhesive tape, Ballantine’s.
The main color of the inscription is a noble dark blue. Many elements on the label and coat of arms are made of gold. These are the colors of glory, greatness, the desire for victory, and prosperity, and are the best characteristics of Ballantine’s stock.
