Balvenie Distillery is a Speyside single malt Scotch whiskey distillery in Dufftown, Scotland owned by William Grant & Sons.

On December 19, 1839, William Grant was born in his father's home in Dufftown. At the age of seven he began herding cattle on a property near the upper Deveron River. He began as an apprentice shoemaker before becoming a clerk and eventually bookkeeper at the Mortlach distillery in 1866. There he was hired as a clerk and later promoted to managing director while learning the craft of distilling.
