Description
Started in 1827, when farmer's son George Ballantine set up a small grocery store in Edinburgh supplying a range of whiskies. In 1891 George Ballantine passed away and the business was passed officially to his son, George. It was five years later that George Ballantine & Son was granted a Royal Warrant by Queen Victoria following a regal visit to Glasgow. In 1910, what was to become the brand's flagship blend, Ballantine's Finest, was created. Ballantine's is a brand of blended Scotch whisky produced by the Chivas Brothers subsidiary of Pernod Ricard in Dumbarton, Scotland, and its flavor profile is based on a blend of 50 single malts and four single grains.
