Description
This single-cask whisky has been bottled by the talented Alistair Walker as part of his ‘Infrequent Flyers’ series. Distilled at The BenRiach distillery in 2011, the whisky was matured for 10 years in cask #2377 with a finishing spell in virgin oak providing additional complexity and flavour. Like all Infrequent Flyers expressions, this whisky is bottled in its most authentic form – un-chill filtered with natural colour.
Limited stock has been allocated for the Australian market.
About Infrequent Flyers
The ‘Infrequent Flyers’ range is a series of single cask bottlings of Scotch whiskies brought to us by Alistair Walker, of Deanston, Tobermory, BenRiach, GlenDronach and Glenglassaugh fame. The expressions are predominantly single malts, though now and again Alistair does release a single grain. The brand name ‘Infrequent Flyers’ refers to the nature of many of the casks that are bottled – often whiskies from lesser-known distilleries that are of excellent quality, but have never been widely or consistently available.
