 Old Vatted Glenlivet
 The first commercial blend - in the sense that it was offered for sale to a wider market, and thus had to be consistent - was made by Andrew Usher in 1853. Usher was the Edinburgh agent for Glenlivet, and he named his creation Old Vatted Glenlivet. By 1860 it was being advertised in London, and in 1864 he was selling it overseas, especially in India.

 The first commercial blend, one that was offered for sale to a wider market and had to be consistent, was made by Andrew Usher in 1853 and first sold in The Pear Tree, Edinburgh. Usher was the agent for Glenlivet, and he named his creation Old Vatted Glenlivet. By the year 1860 it was being advertised in London and in 1864 he was selling it overseas
  http://www.smws.com/archives/alphabet/b.html
 Remember that before the Spirits Act of 1860 allowed blending in bond (i.e. prior to payment of duty) blending was only done on a very small scale and little attempt was made to produce whiskies of consistent quality. The man credited with producing the first blended whisky made to a fixed and repeatable formula was Andrew Usher of Edinburgh, who began offering Old Vatted Glenlivet in London as early as 1844. His son, Andrew Usher II, developed this business massively, purchasing Glen Sciennes (malt) Distillery in 1860, and founding the North British (grain) distillery in 1885.
  It is likely that Andrew II - and possibly even Andrew I - was offering his whiskies by the bottle as well as in larger containers, but it is traditionally held that John Dewar was the first to sell his whiskies in branded bottles, in the late 1860s. This has been disputed by, among others, the Mackinlay family (as in The Original Mackinlay), who maintain that they were the first. In all likelihood many of the early large-scale blenders - Johnnie Walker, George Ballantine, John Haig, Arthur Bell and so on - began putting their whiskies in branded bottles about the same time.
