Allt-a-Bhainne Cooper's Choice - Single Port Cask #9338 Whisky 22 Year Old · 1993 Vintage
Out of stock
A single cask 22 Year Old Allt-a-Bhainne (pronounced Alt-A-Vanya) finished in a port pipe. This is very unusual for this distillery and the colour is extremely red. Bottled at 46%abv. A real treat of a mature lesser known Speyside that is difficult to find at any age let alone at 22 years old and with a port cask finish element to boot, a red berry compote of a malt with watermelon, redcurrant, stewed rhubarb, red jam, ginger, mint and anise notes. Great value for a single cask 22 year old port finish malt, highly recommended.

Tasting Notes
Colour
A vivid, deep ruby red, lacquered and wine-dark with bright garnet edges that glint in the light, hinting at the lush port-influenced finish.
Nose
Opulent red-fruited bouquet, with red berry compote, watermelon and ripe redcurrant giving way to stewed rhubarb and red jam. Ginger and mint provide a bright sparkle while anise notes glimmer at the edge. A luxurious port-cask finish threads through, lending plum and dark fruit depth against a velvety oak backdrop.
Palate
Luxuriously rich on the palate, this 22-year Allt-a-Bhainne in a port-cask pours red fruit forward: red berry compote, watermelon, redcurrant jelly and stewed rhubarb. Ginger spice, mint and a touch of anise lift the sweetness, while velvety textures glide to a warming, long finish. A winey, fruity core balanced by bright spice at 46% ABV.
Finish
Velvety, long finish with port-driven warmth and ruby fruit. Redcurrant, stewed rhubarb and red jam linger, lifted by ginger, mint and a touch of anise, slowly fading into a polished, warming echo.
