- Description
- Allt-a-Bhainne's 2005 vintage, matured for 15 years in second-fill oak and bottled at cask strength (58.8% ABV), represents the Chivas Brothers' commitment to showcasing distillery character. Second-fill casks impart subtle wood influence, allowing the spirit's inherent Speyside notes to dominate—likely soft grain, gentle spice, and orchard fruit. The elevated proof delivers a full-bodied texture with layers of complexity. A serious bottling for those who appreciate Speyside at its most unapologetic.
