Allt-a-Bhaine 20 Year Old - 2005 | Cask 805184 | Infrequent Flyers Batch 20
Distilled in 2005 and bottled at 20 years old, this Allt-a-Bhainne is the 180th release in the Infrequent Flyers series. Finished for over 5 years in a Recioto della Valpolicella hogshead, bringing a different layer of influence to the spirit. Bottled at 59.1% ABV, this is a bold Speyside single malt, with the extended finish in Recioto della Valpolicella cask bringing added richness and depth to the spirit. On the palate, there’s plenty going on, with cocoa, blood orange, apricots and pomegranate, alongside barley sugars and Jaffa cake, all supported by warming spices such as cinnamon and star anise.
