Allt a Bhainne 1977 25 Year Old First Cask #30561

Allt-A-Bhainne Murray McDavid 1996 12 Year Old

With looks of an elapsed 1960’s vacation resort and a silly Gaelic name that translates to ‘the Burn of Milk’, Allt-A-Bhainne sure had its drawbacks from the very beginning. But that need not be the cause of resentment towards this distillery, the home of well-established brands like Macallan and Clynelish are no oil paintings either, but all is...
