A Dangerously Good Story
In 2015, Ballotin Chocolate Whiskey emerged in Louisville, Kentucky; a labor of love inspired by bourbon, chocolate, and a commitment to fostering connections. Founded with a singular mission — to craft elegant and delicious sipping whiskeys for flavor enthusiasts — Ballotin quickly became a symbol of indulgence.
Enter Paul Tuell, a seasoned Marketing and Sales leader with a remarkable 30-year track record, boasting success with industry giants like Brown-Forman and Papa John's International. Driven by a dream and unwavering passion, Paul turned to Flavorman to transform his vision into reality.
Collaborating with Flavorman, Paul shaped Ballotin into an approachable yet vibrantly flavored line of versatile whiskey-based beverages, featuring familiar chocolate expressions. The result? A harmonious fusion of subtle bourbon notes, loved by all, with chocolates, nuts, caramels, mints, and vanillas. This masterful balance brings Ballotin to life as a wonderful, approachable, and eminently drinkable whiskey, embodying the essence of our favorite chocolate indulgences.
The journey began with Ballotin gracing retail shelves in Kentucky and South Carolina, swiftly expanding to over 40 states. The brand's creation goes beyond the ordinary, elevating bourbon flavors to prominence and seamlessly integrating them with traditional whiskey notes. Ballotin's spirits embody the backbone, body, and base flavor of aged American whiskey, enriched with all-natural essences of classic and contemporary chocolate favorites. Cheers to Ballotin, where passion, craftsmanship, and a dedication to flavor converge in every delightful sip.
