It is fairly safe to say that the worthy but deeply obscure Allt-A-Bhainne distillery in Speyside (pronounced: Olt-a-VAYN or Olt-a-VANYA depending on who you ask) is not a name that rushes to most whisky fans' lips when asked to name their top ten distilleries. One of a handful of modern Speyside single malt whisky distilleries built for the anticipated whisky boom of the late 60s and early 70s, Allt-A-Bhainne has appeared in many independent bottlings through the years but the distillery's first official bottling did not appear until 2018. 

Allt-A-Bhainne was expanded with a second pair of stills in 1989 and was bought by Pernod Ricard in 2001, after which the distillery was briefly mothballed until 2005. The majority of Allt-A-Bhainne's malt whisky is reserved for the Chivas Regal and 100 Pipers blends. A modern distillery from day one, Allt-A-Bhainne has always produced an easy-drinking, lighter style of whisky.
