The Balvenie is the only distillery in Scotland that stays true to all of the rare crafts of traditional whisky production. Experience is the benchmark of creativity and their malt master, David Stewart, is celebrating his 50th year at the distillery.

Soon, they will be celebrating their 75^th year in operation (in 2013) with not one, but two valued employees who recently celebrated their 50^th anniversaries with the company and are still going strong!
