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.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I bid on the auctions?
You’ll need an account with us to place bids in any auction. Registration takes 60 seconds and there’s a small £5.00 registration fee, payable by credit or debit card. Once paid, you will be registered and can place bids in the auction immediately. The registration fee helps us ensure you’re a real person and a genuine bidder.
Why does the timer extend on a lot?
In the interest of fairness, any bids placed in the final five minutes of a particular lot will extend the end time of that Lot by 15 minutes. We believe in giving our customers a fair amount of time to increase their bid should they wish. Last second sniping isn’t in the spirit of our auctions and by using this system there is no benefit to doing so.
