About the distillery
The legendary William Grant first founded the Balvenie Distillery.
In 1886 he was able to open Glenfiddich, a brand that thrives to this day. He was also one of the first to pioneer single malts over blends. Glenfiddich was in high demand and Grant decided it was time to open a new distillery.
The Balvenie came to life in 1892 and is based in the Speyside region, on the same site as Glenfiddich and Grant’s other distillery, Kininvie.
