Ballantine's history:
Ballantine's, a Scottish whisky brand, was founded in 1827 by George Ballantine, originally a greengrocer. George opened his first grocery store in Edinburgh and gradually specialised in maturing quality, hand-selected malt whiskies. In 1857 he expanded his store to meet the growing demand for his products and in 1881 began exporting his blended whisky to world markets.
After his retirement, his sons took over the business. Ballantine's was awarded a Quality Recognition from Queen Victoria in 1895, a significant milestone, and over the years the company continued to innovate, including the launch of Ballantine's Finest in 1910 and the development of the iconic square bottle during Prohibition for easier concealment.
In 1937, master blender George Robertson joined the team to create the world's first 17-year-old Scotch whisky and the prestigious Ballantine's 30. The company acquired a heraldic emblem in 1938, which includes the Latin phrase "Amicus Humani Generis" (Friend of all mankind).
Ballantine's continues to celebrate its history and continues to innovate, as evidenced by its 2014 partnership with the Boiler Room Music Project to promote real music and whiskey.
