Cask Strength Single Cask

The Infrequent Flyers range is a series of independent single cask bottlings from the Alistair Walker Whisky Company, created to showcase distinctive and often unusual casks from distilleries across Scotland. Each release highlights the unique character of an individual cask, with selections often coming from distilleries or cask types that are rarely seen as single malt releases.

Bottled in small batches or as single casks, Infrequent Flyers whiskies are typically presented without chill filtration or added colouring, often at natural cask strength, allowing the whisky’s full character and personality to shine through. The name itself reflects the rarity of these releases - whiskies that appear only occasionally, offering enthusiasts the chance to experience something a little different from the ordinary.

Tasting Notes

Nose

A heavy, wine-drenched aroma, with red wine notes underpinning ripe red plums and black grapes. Boiled sweets lend sweetness, while a whisper of dark chocolate and a hint of sweet BBQ sauce add depth.

Palate

Sweet and fruity, but not overwhelmingly so – it’ a refill, so the foot is slightly off the gas. Honeycomb, Demerara sugar, marzipan, stewed sultanas and cinnamon spice.

Finish

A touch of cracked black pepper concludes everything nicely.

Glenrothes
(Glen-ROTH-ess) The Glenrothes is one of Speyside’s classic distilleries, with a history stretching back to 1879. Built in the town of Rothes, it was founded with the aim of producing a lighter, more elegant style of malt, and that bright, fruity character still sits at the heart of the whisky today.
