Ballor 1856

Ballor 1856: a story of Italian taste that continues to evolve, keeping the connection between the art of spirits, quality, and creativity alive.

Founded in Turin in 1856, Ballor is a historic Italian brand with roots in the golden age of Piedmontese Vermouth. Established through the initiative of Paul Ballor, Henry Freund, and Emilie Roussette, the brand gained recognition for the quality of its products, eventually expanding across both Italian and international markets. Its historic portfolio included Vermouth, gin, amari (bitters), cognac, and *vino chinato* (quinine-infused wine)—all expressions of a distilling tradition that masterfully combined botanical research, heritage, and an innovative spirit.

Today, Ballor is part of Bonollo 1908, a leading Italian firm in the distillation sector. Bonollo 1908 has embarked on a mission to revitalize the brand, honoring its historical legacy through a contemporary lens.

The current range interprets this long-standing tradition with products designed for those who seek character, aromatic richness, and versatility—whether for the classic *aperitivo* ritual or as a base for mixology.
