The Distillery

Allt-a-Bhainne Distillery, founded in 1975, is a lesser-known Speyside distillery located southwest of Dufftown, at the foot of Ben Rinnes. Drawing its water from the Allt-a-Bhainne Burn, the distillery benefits from the region’s rain and melting snow that naturally flow down the steep slopes of the mountain. Originally designed to produce a light malt for Chivas blends, Allt-a-Bhainne recently expanded its production to include peated whiskies, showcasing its versatility. Despite increasing from two stills to four in 1989, there have been few official distillery bottlings. However, independent bottlings—such as Connoisseurs Choice and First Editions—offer a rare opportunity to experience the unique character of this hidden Speyside gem.
