We can't actually ship Ailsa Bay Single Malt to you in United States at the moment. We're working on a solution, but until then, here are some alternatives:

Single malt from Ailsa Craig, founded in 2007 with a capacity of 12,000,000 litres on the same site as Girvan. Several styles of malt whisky are produced there, from sweet and light to heavier and more sulphury (two stills have steel condenser rather than copper) as well as peated styles up to 50ppm.
Nose: Custard and some phenolic ash, some Big Red too, becoming more chalky and cereal driven with subtle golden syrup. As the producer's notes state, bacon then emerges.
Palate: Undoubtedly meaty 'n' peaty. More of that chalky cereal (dry muesli?) and golden syrup with Big Red in support.
Finish: Sweet, smoky and drying. More Big Red with vanilla.
Overall: The Big Red (spicy cinnamon sweets) are an ever-present but never threaten to dominate this sweet peaty treat.

I could mistake this for a cask strength Laphroaig, slightly on the sweeter side like a cousin of CS10 #7. What a belter. One for the sweet peat head.

Wasn't expecting a lowland whisky to be like that but was gladly surprised.I get some grassy, flowering sweetness on nose and palate as well as some meatiness which is what I didn't like very much.However, the rest is really good, would go with Islay though if you want some like that.

An absolute belter of a whisky! Powerful yet smooth, all sorts of flavours come to the fore, yet it is superbly balanced, with peat being very evident but not overwhelmingly. An expertly crafted malt, I love it!

Simply put, for the age of this whisky. It stands shoulder to shoulder with some of the best islay. The flavours a brilliantly balanced. Also, the bottle is beautifully crafted.

A good whisky but £50+? Seriously? £35-£40 yes. Peoples hard earned money should be spent elsewhere. I would recommend Springbank 10/Kilkerran 12 or Ledaig 10. All three better and £10-£15 cheaper. You're welcome.

Absolutely love this whisky! A real explosion of sweet/peaty flavour that keeps changing and developing. Highly recommend!

First impressions on the nose: smoked haddock according to my son, smoked kippers for me. We both love Ardbeg, and put this at least on a par. Can't recommend it enough.

When it comes to single malts, I'm an Islay guy, through and through. Peat, smoke, and big, full whiskys are my thing. I was lead to Alisa Bay by a wonderful woman at The Whisky Store in London, when I asked for something as big and character-ful as my beloved Ardbeg and Laphroaig. This is every bit as full of character, but much smoother and "lighter" overall. My friends who just can't handle the Islays find the Alisa Bay very nice. I treasure this bottle, and do not share it with people who do not already know their single malts. This is one of the special ones I take out, only for those who truly appreciate a finer single malt!

I think if I liked the flavor of jet fuel I’d be happier with this

Got this as a gift from here a few years ago. Been trying to get a bottle ever since. Amazing

OMG, this is single malt perfection!!! Highly recommended.

A very good whisky, the peat & sweet go hand in hand to create the most perfectly balanced whisky I have tried, if this is the first bottling then it's really one to watch

Tasted about 60-70 singlemalts. This is the best so far.

The smoky taste and nose in this whisky do not overpower the underlying sweetness. I bought it, tasted it and, in a remarkably short time, found the bottle empty! It has all the peat you could want but does it without being overbearing. I love my Octomore's but this provides the smoke and sweet in a way which may be more open to non peat heads. It is Alisa Bay's first official bottling. I am going to get another bottle and look forward to seeing what they do next.
