Ballantines True Music Icons - KISS Edition Blended Scotch Whisky
In stock
The True Music Icons series honours artists and bands who not only contributed to music culture but defined it. From face paint to fireballs, KISS turn every show into a full-blown spectacle, and every move into a cultural moment. They’ve built a legacy on loud riffs, wild shows, and never dialling anything down. They don’t just stay true to who they are. They own it, out loud, in leather and platform boots. That kind of fearless commitment? Yeah, that’s our kind of collab.
The latest limited-edition turns up the volume on Ballantine’s with a full-throttle tribute to rock legends KISS. The kings of pyro, platform boots, and pure rock spectacle. The bottle is draped in silver and black, with the iconic destroyer album artwork front and centre.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich amber with a warm golden-copper glow, shimmering like sunset in a glass.
Nose
Warm honeyed barley and orchard fruit greet the nose, unfurling into vanilla, toffee and a refined sherry sweetness. Dried fig and raisin deepen the core with toasted oak, a whisper of cocoa, and almond. A touch of spice threads through, delivering a polished, vibrant aroma that hints at the whisky’s bold, music-infused character.
Palate
Silky and medium-bodied, it glides with caramel-toffee and honeyed malt, then opens to rich sherried fig, raisin and dark chocolate. Spices—nutmeg and clove—linger with oak and a hint of leather. A long, warm finish, with a subtle smoke that echoes the bold Kiss tribute.
Finish
Long, polished finish with warming spice and dried-fruit sweetness. Sherried notes mingle with toasted oak and vanilla, trailing into a velvety cocoa glow that lingers like a triumphant encore.
