The word "BALLANTINE'S" appears in black cursive lettering on the white cap of the whiskey bottle that is centered in the mark. "BALLANTINE'S FINEST" appears in white cursive and blue capital letters at the top of the bottle's label; "BLENDED SCOTCH WHISKEY" appears in light blue capital letters towards the bottom of the label on the bottle. The whiskey bottle is shown in navy blue with a red medallion appearing two-thirds from the top with "GEO. BALLANTINE" in white cursive script below the spot of red. The whiskey bottle is set against a medium blue center area of a square that shades to black at the outer edges. Behind the bottle there is a jagged oscilloscope readout in pale blue and at the base of the bottle three small, black silhouetted figures appear in dance poses in front of, and to either side of the whiskey bottle that towers over them. The wording "LISTEN TO YOUR BEAT" appears at the bottom of the mark, underneath the whiskey bottle in stylized pale blue lettering with a fanciful arrangement of upper and lower case lettering.
