The Balvenie Distillery in Speyside remains a family distillery, run by the 5th generation of William Grant, its founder.
Malt Master David Stewart has spent 47 years at Balvenie and as they state so themselves... Unlike all other single malt Scotch whiskies, thanks to a unique combination of human craft and natural alchemy, neither our craft nor nature's mysteries have changed in over a century.
