Originally founded under the name of Glen Gordon, The Balvenie is the second distillery built by William Grant (after Glenfiddich). When the Balvenie distillery was built in 1892, it was outfitted with second hand stills from the Lagavulin and Glen Albyn distilleries. This was one of the first distilleries to introduce a ‘finished’ single malt with the launch of 'Double Wood' in 1993, which was first aged in ex-Bourbon casks before being given a short period of secondary maturation in ex-sherry - a practice that is now commonplace in the industry.

Finish: Rich and malty with gentle waves of oak vanilla and subtle spices.
