visionary artist Leif Podhajsky has imagined 12 independent strata to dress the bottle of Ballantine&#8217;s 12 ans d&#8217;\u00e2ge. An artistic metaphor, this creative and innovative sculpture uses the 3D printing technique. <\/p>\n<p>Opaque at the base of the structure, the 12 elements superimposed harmoniously around the bottle become finer and finer as the eye moves through the creation.<\/p>\n<p>and are adorned with the color of the precious liquid at the top, highlighting the contribution of aging to its chromatic palette.<\/p>\n<p>These 12 layers are set on an oak base, echoing the casks used to age whisky and adding their own touch to the aromatic palette.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>12 numbered works for an exceptional collection<\/em><\/strong>. <strong><em>On sale at the finest wine merchants and on <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.barpremium.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><em>www.barpremium.com<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em>. 400\u20ac<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Discover also the Christmas packs created by Leif Podhajsky, on sale in supermarkets.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-2048289 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-large'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/pack-noel-gms-2015-ballantines-finest-2\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"575\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Pack-No\u00ebl-GMS-2015-Ballantines-Finest-575x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Pack-No\u00ebl-GMS-2015-Ballantines-Finest-575x1024.jpg 575w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Pack-No\u00ebl-GMS-2015-Ballantines-Finest-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Pack-No\u00ebl-GMS-2015-Ballantines-Finest.jpg 798w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 575px) 100vw, 575px\" title=\"\"><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/pack-noel-gms-2015-ballantines-12-ans-2\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"442\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Pack-No\u00ebl-GMS-2015-Ballantines-12-ans-442x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Pack-No\u00ebl-GMS-2015-Ballantines-12-ans-442x1024.jpg 442w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Pack-No\u00ebl-GMS-2015-Ballantines-12-ans-129x300.jpg 129w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Pack-No\u00ebl-GMS-2015-Ballantines-12-ans.jpg 726w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 442px) 100vw, 442px\" title=\"\"><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p><strong><em>Ballantine&#8217;s 12 Years Old: \u20ac22.50 \/ Ballantine&#8217;s Finest: \u20ac15  <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the festive season, Ballantine&#8217;s 12 years old is dressed in an exceptional sculpture by artist Leif Podhajsky.
