Balvenie 32 Year Old Vintage Cask 1966 is an extremely rare and highly prized expression, known for its exceptional quality, depth of flavor, and limited availability, with only 234 bottles produced
The Balvenie is located in Dufftown, in the middle of the Speyside region. The distillery was built by William Grant in 1892 and started whisky production in 1893. The distillery is still owned by the William Grant & Sons Company.
William Grant remained active until 1923, when he passed away and his son John began the first expansion of the distillery. In 1962, David C.Steward began working with William Grant & Sons in the age of 17 and in 1974 he became the fourth Malt Master of the Balvenie distillery history.
During 1983 Steward would start experimenting in Balvenie whisky maturation in two different wood types, a method that would be later called as “finishing”
For his services to the Scotch Whisky Industry, he received his MBE (Most Excellent Order of the English Empire) by Queen Elizabeth II in 2016.
The Balvenie distillery is still growing and malting a percentage of the barley they use (as they reach a capacity of around 5.6 million liters per year), while they have their own cooperage and coppersmith.
