A new addition to the whisky category that confirms Ballantine&#8217;s winning strategy for continued growth. <\/p>\n<p>Ballantine&#8217;s Hard Fired is a Scotch whisky whose manufacturing process reveals a new aromatic dimension of Ballantine&#8217;s. Ballantine&#8217;s Hard Fired goes beyond traditional cask burning to offer a Scotch whisky aimed at consumers seeking authenticity and a different tasting experience. Each Bourbon cask selected for ageing is hand-burned twice, releasing notes of vanilla, smoke and spice.<br \/>\nBallantine&#8217;s Hard Fired is the result of a special manufacturing process. From the outset, a team dedicated to maintaining barrel quality, a key element in the aging process, selects bourbon barrels one by one. The Ballantine&#8217;s coopers then carry out a second, hand-crafted burn of the casks, assessing the intensity and duration of the operation with the naked eye.    <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/BALLANTINES-HARDFIRED.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\"  rel=\"attachment wp-att-158284\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-158284\" title=\"ballantines-hardfired-jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/BALLANTINES-HARDFIRED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/BALLANTINES-HARDFIRED-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/BALLANTINES-HARDFIRED-600x600.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new Scotch Whisky born of the double barrel-burning process Ballantine&#8217;s Hard Fired, an innovation that overturns Whisky codes No. 1 Scotch Whisky in Europe and No. 2 Scotch Whisky&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":855622,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[30493],"tags":[58012,69240],"class_list":["post-2040116","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-wines-and-spirits","tag-ballantines","tag-ballantines-hard-fired"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2040116","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2040116"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2040116\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/855622"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2040116"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2040116"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2040116"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
