Balvenie
Balvenie's offerings have performed very well at Spirit Ratings competitions. At the San Francisco World Spirits Competitions from 2006-2010, its 15-year single barrel received: gold, silver, gold, silver, and double gold medals. Its Portwood Cask Finish 21 year yielded similarly good results, winning double gold in 2009--the last year it was rated in that competition. At the 2006 International Spirits Challenge, Balvenie's collective offerings yielded the biggest gold medal haul for any brand in any one year since the competition began.
After almost twenty years of learning the art of distilling, William Grant resigned from his job at the Mortlach distillery and bought a field beneath the towering shadow of Balvenie Castle. He then drew up plans for his distillery and the foundation stone was laid in the autumn of 1886. William Grant remained active in the company until his death in 1923 at the age of 83.
In early 1892 work began to convert an 18th century mansion (Balvenie New House) into a distillery. The building took fifteen months to complete and on 1 May 1893, the first distillation took place at the Balvenie Distillery.
