Ballantines is the brand name of a blended Scotch whisky produced by Chivas Brothers Ltd, UK, and goes back to George Ballantine. In 1827, George Ballantine opened a grocery shop with an attached wine and spirits shop in Edinburgh and experimented with blending malt and grain whiskies. His product was very successful and they became Queen Victoria's purveyor to the court as early as 1895. After several changes of ownership, the brand now belongs to Pernod Ricard and is still one of the most important blends in the world.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
