Ballindalloch Family Heritage Selection marks the first-ever U.S. release from one of Scotland’s rarest distilleries: a true family run, Single Estate distillery in the heart of Speyside. After more than a decade of patient maturation, this inaugural small-batch release offers an exceptional opportunity to experience Ballindalloch Single Malt at its very beginning.
From barley to bottle, every step of production takes place on the historic Ballindalloch Estate, stewarded by the Macpherson-Grant family since 1457. Estate-grown Laureate Spring barley is cultivated, distilled, matured, and hand-bottled on site, delivering total provenance, sustainability, and character in every drop. With an annual production 100 times smaller than the average Speyside distillery, Ballindalloch represents a genuine rarity for collectors and connoisseurs.

The history of distilling on the Ballindalloch Estate dates back to the early 1820s when a distillery was built at Delnashaugh, above the junction of the rivers Avon and Spey near where the Delnashaugh Hotel stands today.
It was under the stewardship of Sir George Macpherson-Grant, the 3rd Baronet, that distilling on the Estate was firmly established. As co-founder of Cragganmore distillery with John Smith in 1869, Sir George was clearly a man for whom distilleries held a special place in his heart.
Sir George also enjoyed a close association with Robert Hay, who built Glenfarclas distillery on the North side of the Estate. His final direct involvement with a new distillery was the building of Speyside Distillery in Kingussie in 1896.
It can very much be said that the building of Ballindalloch Distillery is a return to the industry for the Macpherson-Grant family.
