The Balvenie Distillery was founded in 1892 in Dufftown, Scotland, by William Grant. It is currently owned by William Grant & Sons. Balvenie is known for its traditional methods, including floor malting and its own cooperage. The whiskey-making process includes copper pot stills, malted barley, and oak casks for aging. One notable fact is that Balvenie is one of the few distilleries in Scotland that still grows its own barley for production.
