Single Malt
Scotland
Allt-a-Bhainne
The first official whisky from Allt-á-Bhainne distillery, which has previously produced liquid to be used in Chivas Regal blends or the occasional independent bottling. The inspiration behind this single malt Scotch whisky was to blend peat and smoky notes with classic Speyside elements.
The bottle design attempts to honour the '70s style of the distillery with its distinctive geometric shape.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Smoky malt and a prickle of white pepper spice blend with toffee apples, buttery pastry, a hint of heather and toasted oak.
Butterscotch, roasted apricot and honey provide sweetness among gingerbread and cinnamon spice and earthy peat.
A long finish has plenty of drying smoke and fizzing spice.
I bought this whiskey for £27 great deal, l have struggled to find a whiskey I really liked but this one rated great for me
Just received this for my Christmas I must say it is one of the best I have tasted in a long time cheers.
Nearly bypassed this whisky on the supermarket shelf, very glad I didn’t at £27 a bottle value for money and great taste sweet and peaty in one malt
Perfect balance of peat and the fruitiness you’d come to expect from a Speyside whisky. The peat notes are subtle and just enough for me. Really like the unique bottle shape too
Tiniest wisp of smoke, a little honey/fruit sweetness, some spice, very acceptable. I've been wondering for some time if I'd be able to try a distillery bottling - after driving past the distillery on many Speyside trips, and even looking down on its roof from the summit of Ben Rinnes - I appreciate the opportunity. I suspect the first reviewer based the comments on whisky label snobbery, not a taste of the whisky or a healthy interest in the products of all distilleries.
