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. This 'Centenary Edition 1910–2010' was released in 2010 to mark 100 years of Ballantine's Finest, presented in a striking metal commemorative tin.
