The story behind it

The maker

Founded in 1892 by William Grant in Dufftown, Scotland, The Balvenie remains one of the most prestigious family-owned distilleries in the world. Led for decades by legendary Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE, the distillery is celebrated for its dedication to the Five Rare Crafts of whisky production.

How it is made

The Balvenie Distillery is renowned for maintaining traditional whisky-making crafts, including growing its own barley and employing on-site coopers. This expression is drawn from a single Oloroso sherry cask, making every bottle a unique snapshot of Speyside excellence.
