A story of a rare red rose that would go on to inspire not one, but two rare Balvenie whiskies. The first, the original Balvenie Rose, was a liquid of intriguing colour and taste that became the talk of Dufftown. Both stories began many centuries ago in a castle high on a Speyside hill

Margaret Douglas, widow of the 8th Earl of Douglas, lived for many years in Balvenie Castle. On the edge of the land that would eventually become the home of The Balvenie Distillery. Her rent for living there, payable to King James II, took the form of one exquisite red rose.

The flower, so the story goes, had a vibrant magenta hue, and was considered not only to be extremely beautiful, but extremely valuable too.
