- Description
- Allt-á-Bhainne's 12-year-old single cask from indie bottler Chapter 7 combines Speyside's typical orchard fruit character with an unexpected coastal edge from its Islay cask finish. Distilled in 2008 and bottled in 2021, this whisky carries waves of peat smoke and brine alongside honey and vanilla notes, creating an unusual crossover profile. The texture is smooth and medium-bodied, with a lingering smoky finish that defies the distillery's usual style. A curious dram for those curious about how secondary finishes can reshape a whisky's identity.
