Balmenach distillery was bought from Diageo in 1997 by Inver House, who have done great work with Balblair, Old Pulteney and An Cnoc. Single malt whisky production has been continuous at the distillery since 1998, but at the time of writing in 2025 Balmenach fans have not seen an official bottling since 2002. 

Balmenach has been something of an obscure malt through the years, quietly chugging away to fill the blenders needs, but there are many fine examples of its meaty, robust Speyside single malt whisky to be found and it is well worth investigating.
