Whisky.com On the foot of the hills of Convals lies the Distillery of Glenfiddich. It produces Scotch Malt Whisky. William J. Grant built it in 1892.
The Balvenie Whiskies have a very definite distillery character. All the Whiskies are sweet with honey and vanilla notes. This distillery character is then nicely combined with flavours of different casks. This marriage of fruity flavours with the honey and vanilla makes The Balvenie a typical Speyside distillery. The core range is very large with the 12 years Double Wood as their leading Whisky. The core range goes up to the 30 year-old. These Whiskies become even better as the sweet and soft tones are complemented with oak and darker flavours like leather or cigars.There are only few independent bottlings of The Balvenie distillery. So there are only a handful of bottles on the market with Whisky straight from the cask.
The production output at The Balvenie is very high for a Single Malt distillery. The distillery has an annual output of 5.6 million litres of alcohol. This output is reached with five wash stills and six spirit stills. Also very interesting is the production depth at The Balvenie. The Balvenie has an own farm, malting floors, local spring, copper-smith, cooperage and all the usual distillery departments.
