The Balvenie distillery is owned by William Grant & Sons Ltd and is one of the few remaining independent distilleries in Scotland today. The Balvenie Distillery is quite unique in that it grows some of its own barley, and still does its own floor maltings. It also has its own cooper to maintain the barrels in which its whisky is matured. The Balvenie Distillery was founded in 1892 near the ruins of Balvenie Castle. It is located right next to its more famous sister distillery Glenfiddich, which is also owned by the Grant family. Both distilleries share the same malt supply and water source, but that is where the similarities end as the Balvenie and Glenfiddich whiskies are completely different in character. Although the Glenfiddich is more popular in terms of sales, whisky lovers generally regard The Balvenie as the stronger of the two in terms of quality across the range. If you have never had the chance to try this creamy malt, the Balvenie 10 year old is a very good starting point.

Being based in Speyside ourselves we are ideally placed to source and supply a fine range of Balvenie single malt. Our current Balvenie range includes the Balvenie 12 Year Old Double Wood, Balvenie 12 Year Old Double Wood (20cl), Balvenie 12 Year Old Doublewood Miniature, Balvenie 12 Year Old Miniature, Balvenie 12 Year Old Signature, Balvenie 15 Year Old Single Barrel, Balvenie 16 Year Old Rose Cask Strength, Balvenie 17 Year Old - Madeira Wood Finish, Balvenie 17 Year Old Peated Cask, Balvenie 21 Year Old Portwood, Balvenie 30 Year Old, Balvenie 8 Year Old Pure Malt - Black Leather Label, Balvenie Miniature Gift Pack and the Balvenie Tun 1401.
