Craftsmanship can’t be bought, borrowed or stolen, it can only be refined. Unique by design, each product in The Balvenie Maker’s Collection champions the uniquely human elements that elevate the great to the exceptional. From the artisans led by passion and driven by heart to the virtuosos compelled to carry on, success, much like a fine single malt, only gets better with age. Bold, brash and unwavering in pursuit of perfection, these are the makers.
Meet the Makers
Stefanie Schoeninger – Atelier Stefani
Meticulous by nature, Atelier Stefani’s handcrafted leather products are designed to go against the grain, but it wasn’t always the case. This is the story of one craftsman’s unrelenting pursuit of individuality and character.
Milly Dent – Milly Dent Ceramics
Fiercely creative and fuelled by a driving sense of authenticity, Milly Dent is a ceramicist that understands the power of connection. Her work is a study of the intimate and tangible, underpinned by one poignant message.
Aaron Zhao – AHW Studio
Finding sentimentality in the tangible, jeweller AHW Studio creates pieces designed to tell stories. Toiling at an old-world trade, co-founder Aaron Zhao dissects his craft with surgical precision. One false move and the story goes silent.

Chris Edwards – Oscar Hunt
They say the suit makes the man, but Chris Edwards isn’t convinced. The pioneering designer behind fine clothier Oscar Hunt Tailors is ushering in a new era of suiting – one that is set to challenge the status quo.
The Balvenie Whisky
Hand-crafted in Speyside using centuries-old skills passed down through generations, The Balvenie is more than a single malt whisky. This is a commitment to craftsmanship that flows from the hands of makers to the hearts of drinkers.
