Allt-a-Bhainne

Allt-a-Bhainne opened in 1975 to the south west of Dufftown beside the Allt-a-Bhainne Burn to supply light, heathery malt whisky to Chivas blends including Chivas Regal. No official distillery bottling and only a small number of independent ones.

Nose: Custard creams; hints of fennel and allspice. Creme caramel. Some dusty notes with some strawberries coming through. A complex nose that just draws you in.
Palate: Very creamy with growing ever changing fruit bursts; limes, satsumas, peaches and solid toffee give the whole palate a taste treat.
Finish: Develops an effervescent fruitiness mingling in a blanket of thick cream. And soft fruits and maple syrup drizzled all over. This is an amazing little dram that's going to be one of my favourites
