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 was created. Here we have a bottle of Ballantine's Vitality, one of several blended whiskies released in the Far East as part of the 'Sensations' range. This particular whisky is formed from carefully-selected Scotch grain whiskies, showcasing the art of blending grain whiskies.
