Allt-a-Bhainne Connoisseurs Choice Single Cask #16601402 Whisky 18 Year Old · 2006 Vintage
Out of stock
Distilled in 2006 and bottled in 2024 at 59.8% ABV, this 18-year-old was drawn from a refill American hogshead (cask #16601402) for Gordon & MacPhail’s Connoisseurs Choice single cask series and yielded 324 bottles.
Allt-a-Bhainne is a Speyside distillery traditionally focused on supplying malt for blends, with relatively few official single malt bottlings — making indie releases like this particularly interesting.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Bright golden honey with a sun-kissed amber edge.
Nose
Aromas of ripe green apple unfold into tropical mango and clover honey, with soft citrus peel, watermelon and a whisper of fresh-cut grass.
Palate
Rich tropical fruits mingle with toasted almond and poached pear, while vanilla fudge gives way to flambéed banana, with a delicate herbal lift.
Finish
Medium-length finish of bright tangerine peel settled into warm, mature oak, leaving a smooth, softly spiced sweetness that lingers with quiet elegance.
