Ballantine's Whisky
Ballantine's Blended WhiskyBallantine's whisky has a long and proud history dating back to 1827. Nearly 200 years ago, the founder of Ballantine's, the just 19-year-old George Ballantine, began selling whisky from his grocery store in the Cowgate district of Edinburgh, Scotland. Ballantine quickly became known for his expertise in whisky blending, and his reputation spread rapidly. By 1836, Ballantine was able to expand his business with a larger Ballantine's store in the South Bridge area.By 1881, Ballantine's had begun exporting its blended whisky worldwide. George Ballantine retired and handed over the family business to his two sons. George passed away a few years later, but today his name lives on on the labels of Ballantine's whisky bottles sold across the globe.
