Bottle Information
Tasting Notes
Nose: Honey-glazed peach, dried apricot and vanilla sponge intertwine with sugared almond, orange blossom and a hint of walnut shell.
Palate: Silky layers of golden sultana, toffee cream and sweet malt glide across the tongue, followed by Madeira-driven notes of candied citrus peel, hazelnut praline and subtle oak spice.
Finish: Medium-long and warming—lingering tropical-fruit sweetness, gentle tannin and a final flourish of malted biscuit and nutmeg.
Celebrate Speyside flair with a Mediterranean twist in Allt-a-Bhainne 28 Year Old – 1996 Vintage, Murray McDavid “Mission Gold.” After decades in refill American-oak barrels, this single malt was given an extended finish in Justino’s Madeira wine barriques, where sun-baked fruit and nutty sweetness fused seamlessly with Allt-a-Bhainne’s gentle orchard-malt core. Bottled in 2025 at a refined 48 % ABV, non-chill-filtered and natural in colour, only 662 individually numbered bottles showcase this elegant marriage of Speyside serenity and Atlantic-island richness.

The Distillery
Allt-a-Bhainne
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.
