When Balvenie opened in 1892, it was the second distillery of William Grant. Balvenie is located right next to Glenfiddich, which opened in 1886. Balvenie is the most traditional distillery, where people still work as in the past. They make this 21-year-old PortWood since 1996. It matures first on bourbon casks and the last eighteen months the whisky has finished on old used Port casks, in which earlier beautiful Port matured for at least 30 years.
