Official tasting notes.
A straight forward single malt, where predominant notes arise from the fermentation and distillation process. It exhibits a very light, almost clear colour, with distinct aromas of malted barley and cereal. As you delve deeper, you’ll discover fruity nuances of cherries, mirabelle, and eaux de vie, accompanied by delicate hints of rose petals and yellow stone fruit. On the palate, the experience is powerful, with a refreshing bitterness and an oily texture that lingers into a long finish.

About Allt-a-Bhainne Distillery:
Scotland’s war horse!
The Allt-A-Bhainne distillery was founded in Speyside in 1975 due to the then booming Scotch Whisky industry calling for more spirit to be made. The distillery was built to supply bulk whisky to the Chivas blended Scotch whiskies with the distillery offering a modern open plan unit, one of the first designed to be run by one man per shift. The spirit stills have long slender necks with boil balls adding reflux and designed to produce a light, estery malt.
Rarely seen bottled as a single malt, independent bottlings are far and few between and one of the only ways to get your hands on their precious whiskies.
