Balvenie Distillery lies in Dufftown right on the banks of the river Fiddich. Balvenie was founded in 1892 by William Grant, the owner of Glenfiddich Distillery which was founded only 5 years earlier. The increasing demand from the Blended Industry prompted the expansion and Balvenie was built in only 15 months. The short construction time can be explained by the conversion of an existing building (the Mansion Balvenie New House) rather than erect a new one. They also managed to find two second-hand stills from the distilleries Lagavulin (Islay) and Glen Albyn (a dismantled distillery at Inverness).
Between 1957 and 1971 the number of stills was increased from two to seven. In the early 1970s Balvenie finally abandoned their almost complete focus on blended whisky and entered the market for single malts. They met with immediate success and today several official bottlings are available –all equally appreciated for their full-bodied sweet character. |
