Ballantines
(BAL-un-tynes) Ballantine’s traces its roots to 1827, when George Ballantine opened a grocery shop in Edinburgh before moving into wines and spirits in 1836. The business expanded steadily, exporting worldwide by 1881, and in 1895 George Ballantine & Son received a Royal Warrant from Queen Victoria. Ballantine’s Finest followed in 1910, giving the brand the blend that still sits at the centre of the range today.
