The Core has created the exclusive limited edition pack for Ballantine’s Championship Blend 2010: a priceless Scotch whisky blended specially for the 50th anniversary of the first Ballantine’s golf tournament.

Only 20 of the ultra-luxe packs – which feature 24-Carat gold, real leather and solid mahogany – exist. The packs are currently on display around the world.

One was given to the tournament’s first Champion; another will be presented to the winner of this year’s Championship, which takes place in Korea this April.

Inspired by an antique leather golf caddy, the presentation box is handmade from solid mahogany with an embossed leather frontispiece.

Battery-powered illuminated liquor bottles are supposed to grab your attention when you’re trying to decide what to order at the bar.

That’s why Pernod Ricard-owned blended Scotch whisky brand is launching a bottle that flashes like a graphic equaliser in time to the music.

The dark blue bottle was created by London-based packaging agency The Core and is part of Ballantine’s ‘Listen to Your Beat’ campaign.
