William Grant founded Balvenie distillery in 1892 using the 18th century mansion known as Balvenie New House. It is built just below Glenfiddich, sharing its Robbie Dhu springs water source. The distillery still uses its own floor maltings and locally-sourced peat.

Rare 1st Release. A very special limited release bottle to celebrate the long history of Balvenie Castle, the annual rent of which was fixed at a single red rose in 1460.

A 1991 vintage of four casks matured in a first fill port pipe has produced a rich and fruity single malt with a distinctive reddish colour.

Distilled: 1991

Age: 16 years old

Cask Type: First fill port pipes

53.4% ABV / 70cl

Bottle Number: One of only 426 bottles released
