Description
Balmenach's Flora & Fauna offering, bottled at 43% ABV, represents the sole official Diageo release from this Speyside distillery, which was mothballed in 1993 and later acquired by Inver House. Distilled during the distillery's final active period, this 12-year-old malt captures a vanished era of production. The whisky offers a window into pre-closure Speyside character without the inflated secondary market prices of truly rare releases. A historical dram for Speyside enthusiasts and collectors tracing the region's industrial changes.
