BALVENIE 12 Year Old DoubleWood / 25th Anniversary

BALVENIE 12 Year Old DoubleWood / 25th Anniversary

Balvenie, situated in Dufftown and built by the Grant family alongside its sister distillery Glenfiddich, holds a central position in Grant’s range of blends. Despite their close proximity and shared water source, Balvenie and Glenfiddich produce distinct styles of spirit. Balvenie’s new make spirit is characterised by a sweeter, honeyed profile with a hint of light peat.

The journey towards establishing Balvenie as a single malt distillery began in 1990 when the responsibility for blending stock production was shared with Kininvie distillery. This development provided Balvenie the opportunity to make significant strides. Through the use of innovative maturation processes, the distillery quickly gained recognition. Notably, Balvenie was at the forefront of cask “finishing,” introducing its pioneering DoubleWood expression in 1993. Furthermore, Balvenie stands out as one of the few remaining distilleries that still perform on-site malting. However, these malting only fulfil a small percentage of its current requirements.

This is a special 25th anniversary bottling produced in 2018.
