The Balvenie is a small distillery nestled in the Scottish Highlands, at the heart of the land of whisky: Speyside.


The Balvenie is a real museum, as nothing changed much since its establishment in 1892. Its name derives from the Balvenie castle (13th century), located a few hundred yards away. Since 1892, it has been family-owned and family-run. This independence allows the distillery to focus exclusively on the production of traditional craft Single Malts. The name “Balvenie” is a mystery in itself. If “Bal” means house or farm in Gaelic, the meaning of “Venie” has been lost. The Balvenie is proud to be one of the last four distilleries of the Highlands to use a traditional malting area. Four maltmen turn the malt three times a day, seven days a week, to even out the germination. The nine stills are placed under the close surveillance of a skilled blacksmith. In order to keep all of the character of The Balvenie Single Malts, the stills in used today are the exact replica of the originals. Until today, the oak casks are crafted by coopers, continuing the traditions and maintaining the skills alive as an heritage of ancient craftsmanship.

Nose: Deep aromas of candied fruit, heather honey, smooth vanilla, precious woods, with a hint of sweet spices and old leather.
Palate: Silky texture, rich with ripe fruit (fig, plum), butterscotch, dark chocolate, walnuts, and a subtle touch of ginger and cinnamon.
Finish: Exceptionally long and elegant, with notes of toasted oak, fine spices and hints of tobacco and orange zest.

A complex, harmonious masterpiece, combining power and delicacy, perfect for contemplative tasting.
