Allt-A-Bhainne Whisky

The Allt-a-Bhainne Whisky Distillery is located near the town of Dufftown, on the south side of the Ben Rinnes, in the Speyside. Unfortunately, there was never an original bottling of the distillery, as most of the whisky produced in Allt-a-Bhainne is used to produce the Chivas Regal Blend. Interested parties must therefore use bottlings from independent bottlers such as Signatory or Gordon & MacPhail.

History

Relatively young, Allt-a-Bhainne was founded in 1975. At that time, the Chivas Brothers wanted to build five new distilleries in the Speyside. In addition to Allt-a-Bhainne, only today’s Braeval Distillery was built. The project turned out to be too ambitious and large. In 1989 the distillery was expanded.
