Ballantines Blends
 
Hey, I'm new to the whiskey world and not quite familiar with all the terms in it.

I tried to look for a list of Ballantines' blends(in case I didn't use the right term, what I meant was a list of single malt whiskeys which compose the Ballantines blended whiskey).
I'm generally interested at the main malts.

Your help(and tolerance) is much appreciated.

No Blender will tell you what malts are in their blends but they usually name the 1 or 2 main malts used. Quite often they're the distilleries that the brand or company owns. For Ballantine's they've always said that Miltonduff and Glenburgie are their 2 main malts, hope this helps

Ballentine's Blends
 
Zilber, blenderm is exactly correct (thanks blenderm! ;) ) One will never find out exactly what makes up their blends, however, it is true and we can say that the top two key single malts that make up Ballentine's blends are Glenburgie and Miltonduff. Ballentine's tells us these two single malts "contribute to the signature style of soft, sweet, creamy, complex and perfectly balanced." :D

Ballantine's
 
Is Ballantine's good? Do they only offer 1 whisky?
