Balmenach Distillery was established in 1824 by James MacGregor. The Distillery is now owned by Inver House Distillers Limited, a privately owned distiller whose other distilleries include Speyburn-Glenlivet, Knockdhu, Balblair and Old Pulteney. This 2008 vintage Balmenach single malt mainly goes into blended whisky, but a small amount gets out through independents like Gordon & MacPhail and was bottled in 2016 as part of their long-running Connoisseurs Choice range. This one was aged in a combination of Bourbon and Sherry casks.
