OUR MALTING FLOOR We Grow and Malt Our Own Barley ON-PREMISE HANDBOOK ON-PREMISE HANDBOOK For over a century we’ve stayed true to our Five Rare Crafts, making whisky the old way—the right way—the handcrafted way. We still grow our own barley and we still malt by hand on our traditional malting floor—the last of its kind in the Scottish Highlands. Our resident coppersmith keeps a careful watch over our stills, and our team of coopers ensures each cask is in perfect condition. And as he has for over 50 years, our Malt Master, David Stewart, presides over every aspect of the maturation process, making alchemy out of spirit, wood and time. OUR HOME-GROWN BARLEY OUR MALTING FLOOR We grow and malt our own barley. We sow Our grains are turned by hand. We’re barley annually on our 1,000-acre farm, one of only a handful of distilleries Balvenie Mains. We always have and we in Scotland to operate a working always will. malting floor.

OUR MALT MASTER An unmatched definitiveness. That’s what sets Malt Master David Stewart apart. He decides which casks will be used for The Balvenie DoubleWood and which will continue the maturation process for another 20 years. It’s all up to him—and we wouldn’t put the future of our whisky in anyone else’s hands.
