Allt-a-Bhainne 16 Year Old 2005 (cask 805181) – Infrequent Flyers (Alistair Walker)

On the arrivals board at MoM International is this single cask, single malt Scotch whisky from Allt-a-Bhainne in Speyside. Starting its journey in 2005, it enjoyed a long-haul maturation for 16 years in a Pedro Ximénez puncheon, before landing in at Alistair Walker for the independent Infrequent Flyers range. Cruising at a high 62.3% ABV, this complex dram does well with a couple of drops of water to open things up. An outturn of 634 bottles.
