The heritage of Ballantine's can be traced back to 1827 when the son of a farmer, George Ballantine set up a grocery shop at Edinburgh. His operations grew as he supplied a select range of Whiskies to distinguished clientele. Establishing a strong reputation, George brought his two sons into the flourishing business. George Ballantine & Sons began exporting to a worldwide market as the name quickly became synonymous with the highest quality, smooth blended whiskies.
