Distillery Information

The Balvenie distillery is a Speyside single malt Scotch whisky distillery in Dufftown, Scotland, owned by William Grant & Sons. In early 1892 work began to convert an 18th-century mansion (Balvenie New House) into a distillery.
The Balvenie DoubleWood 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky gains its distinctive character from being matured in two wood types, known as "wood finishing". Maturation in American oak casks mellows the spirit and imparts warming layers of vanilla spiciness.Balvenie was built on a 12 acre site adjacent to Glenfiddich in 1892/3. Originally known as Glen Gordon it took the name of the huge (ruined) castle which was located next door. The 'new' castle, already derelict in 1893, was turned into maltings.
