The very best oak casks are critical to the maturation of The Balvenie. Our spirit spends so long in them, borrowing so much character, that we entrust their upkeep only to our own coopers.

This month’s Inside Story goes into fascinating detail on the cooper’s craft ~ http://tinyurl.com/n82sbv ~ whilst David Mair writes his Letter from Dufftown in the deafening noise of The Balvenie cooperage.

You may have noticed that The Balvenie site has been down for critical maintenance recently. The work has taken a bit longer than we all thought, and we apologise for the inconvenience… however, we are now back online.
