Bottled at 105° proof in celebration of Janet Sheed Roberts 105th Birthday (13th of August 2006).Known as "wee Jannie" to her family, Janet Sheed Roberts has been an indomitable spirit in William Grant's family since 1901.

    Kininvie

    The lesser known of the William Grant & Sons Dufftown distilleries, Kininvie sits within the shadow of its more illustrious neighbours of Balvenie and Glenfiddich. Founded in 1990, it is a simplistic and efficient construction that consists of a mash tun, 3 wash and 6 spirit stills with 10 washbacks. Its primary purpose until recently was to support Grant & Son’s blended scotches and the popular Monkey Shoulder range. This all changed in 2006, when its debut single malt was bottled under the name of Hazelwood and there have been several releases under this brand since. However, in 2013, the name Kininvie was used for the first time as a single malt, prompting huge demand outside of Taiwan. Subsequent releases followed in the coming years as everyone wanted to try this new Speyside distillery that was bottling with an array of impressive age statements. A more experimental range was released in 2019, showcasing the different elements that the distillery can deliver including triple distillation, different mash bills and cask maturation.
