Infrequent Flyers is a range of single malt whiskies released by independent bottlers Alistair Walker Whisky Company, which was founded in Glasgow in 2018. Alistair Walker is the son of Glenallachie’s Billy Walker, and cut his teeth in the whisky industry at Burn Stewart Distillers in the late 1990s. He later joined his father’s Benriach Distillery Company (BDC) and helped to revitalise the Benriach, Glendronach and Glenglassaugh distilleries before going it alone as an independent bottler after BDC was sold to Brown Forman in 2016.

The first of the new Alistair Walker Whisky Company’s Infrequent Flyers whiskies appeared in 2019, with the Infrequent Flyers name reflecting Walker’s choice to deliberately focus on Scotland’s more obscure distilleries, as these lesser-known lights of the Scotch whisky firmament offer bottlers greater value in the cask market.  Many of these less famous distilleries are rarely officially bottled, yet a well-selected cask from an indie bottler can often rival much more well-known names for quality. 

The Infrequent Flyers range quickly made a name for itself with a prolific output of high quality whiskies at very reasonable prices. By the end of 2025 over 150 Infrequent Flyers bottlings had been released, with some excellent casks from near-anonymous distilleries including Strathmill, Glen Spey and Tormore alongside sumptuous drams from stalwart, perennially unfashionable names like Linkwood, Macduff and Teaninich.
