ABOUT BALLOTIN WHISKEY

There are moments of our lives that aren’t measured in minutes or hours, but by the laughter around the table. The conversation that never lulls and the smiles that never fade. The jokes that haven’t aged a bit and the stories that never will. Our phones, our watches, that clock on the wall — just props.

And as we laugh and talk and joke and remember, our souls are shaped, dreams divined, futures fated. These are the moments that really do last forever — and when you find yourself in one, hang around a while. Ballotin is made of, and for these moments.

Inspired by a love of bourbon whiskey, a passion for chocolate, and an abiding dedication to bringing people together, Ballotin* Chocolate Whiskey was founded in 2015 in Louisville, Kentucky with a single focus: To produce elegant and delicious sipping whiskeys designed for flavor-craving friends.

Chasing a Dream.

Ballotin Chocolate Whiskey began as a dream shared by founders Paul and Lisa. Fueled by a passion for bourbon whiskey, rich chocolate, and the joy of connecting with family and friends, they set off on an ambitious journey nine years ago to create a unique and unforgettable spirit experience.

In 2015, they crafted their first small batch and shipped it to a local distributor, marking the start of Ballotin Chocolate Whiskey. Since that pivotal moment, they have dedicated countless hours to perfecting their vision. Through late nights behind tasting tables, they have poured their passion into every bottle, creating a chocolate-infused whiskey that invites everyone to share in its rich, smooth flavors.

 
 
 

With a commitment to evolving and creating unique flavor experiences, they continue to craft a whiskey meant to be savored among friends, old and new.

Join us in raising a glass to Paul and Lisa and the dream they have made a reality with Ballotin Chocolate Whiskey!

“Ballotin was created by bringing some of the subtler bourbon flavors that everyone loves, the chocolates, nuts, caramels, mints, and vanillas, into greater prominence and balance with the complementary flavors of traditional whiskeys. The result is a wonderful, approachable, drinkable whiskey that tastes like a whiskey expression of your favorite chocolate indulgences.”

*If you are wondering where the name comes from…

In 1915, the wife of a Belgian Chocolatier invented a stylish box to present and sell her husband’s fine chocolate creations. She named that box a “Ballotin”, based on the French word, ballot, which means “a small package. Still today, that iconic, compartmentalized chocolate box remains a symbol of elegance and delight. Ballotin Chocolate Whiskey adds to that legacy of sophisticated indulgence with our Dangerously Good chocolate whiskies and whiskey creams.
