The Balvenie 1931

Dawn of Our Spirit
“The Balvenie 1931: Dawn of Our Spirit” brings together artist Daniel Arsham and Malt Master Kelsey McKechnie in a shared exploration of the craftsmanship that has defined The Balvenie for generations. Guided by the distillery’s Five Rare Crafts, the exhibition centres on an extraordinary whisky distilled in 1931 and matured for 88 years, offering a rare opportunity to trace the origins of the spirit that continues to shape The Balvenie today.
It is a story of artistry, whisky making, and heritage, woven together through generations of dedication. More than an exhibition, it is an invitation to rediscover the values, people, and craftsmanship that have remained at the heart of The Balvenie since the very beginning.
Through contemporary artistic expression, immersive experiences, and curated whisky tastings, guests are invited to journey through the Five Rare Crafts, exploring how time, patience, and human touch have transformed raw ingredients into something truly remarkable. Along the way, they will discover how these enduring crafts continue to inspire the spirit of The Balvenie today.
