Bottled by That Boutique-y Whisky Company in 2017 as a 22 Years Old Allt-a-Bhainne at 49% ABV from ex Bourbon maturation. The release is one of 175 bottles in the TBWC batch programme. That Boutique-y Whisky Company is the indie bottling arm of Master of Malt and Atom Brands, known for its illustrated comic strip labels that pack a distillery story into every bottle.
Allt-a-Bhainne ferments malted barley for 48 to 50 hours on Mauri liquid yeast in closed stainless steel washbacks, then double distills through two copper wash stills and two copper spirit stills with steam heating and shell and tube condensers. The short Speyside ferment produces a clean malt forward spirit built as a blend filler for Chivas Regal, Passport and 100 Pipers. New make is reduced with Rowantree Burn water and tankered to Keith for cask filling and maturation, since the distillery holds no warehousing on site.
Ex Bourbon American oak frames cask contribution on vanillin and oak lactones from the toasted and charred staves, with Maillard chemistry from hemicellulose oak sugars driving honey and vanilla. The clean American oak palette suits Allt-a-Bhainne's lighter blend filler spirit. Twenty two years of ex Bourbon develops the cask contribution well into mature territory, with vanillin, oak lactones and slower Maillard products joined by the deeper integration that long matured single malt takes on.
