About this SPIRIT

Kininvie Distillery

Kininvie Distillery

Kininvie distillery is located in Dufftown, Moray in Scotland, and is owned by William Grant & Sons. One of the youngest distilleries in Scotland, it opened in 1990.

It was built close by to the Balvenie distillery, and because of its limited buildings and technology, the Balvenie was used to pipe the liquid used for the fermentation process to the small Kininvie distillery.

The single malt whiskey produced there was used in Grant & Sons blended malt and blended whiskey brands. Kininvie only ever released two single malts; the Hazelwood 105, aged 15 years; and the Hazelwood Rserve, aged 17 years. It closed in 2010, with Grant’s Ailsa Bay distillery taking its place.

Speyside Whisky

Speyside Whisky

To some Speyside represents the jewel in whisky’s crown. Speyside is the home of legal whisky production and it’s best known examples. Around the world Glenlivet, Macallan, Glenfiddich, Glenrothes and Glenfarclas typify all that whisky, at it’s best has to offer. At it’s heart running from the Monadhliath mountains north to the sea, is the River Spey. It is the fastest flowing river in Britain, and also well known for its salmon fishing.

Speyside is the principal whisky-producing region: Speyside has within it some forty-six operating distilleries - over half the total number in the entire Scotland.

Speysides are essentially sweet whiskies. They have little peaty character They are typically highly perfumed, feminine and elegant.

The classical nature of Speyside’s malts means that a number of the finest malts are used almost exclusively for blending. It is the top Speysider’s that give good blends their ‘Top Dressing’. 

Malts such as Mortlach, Glen Elgin, Strathmill and Benrinnes are rarely found as distillery bottlings, however when individual casks are tracked down by independent bottlers such as our Own Selection Single Malt Whiskies the resultant whisky can be quite wonderful.
