Ballindalloch Distillery sits on the picturesque Ballindalloch Estate. Nearby lies the famous Ballindalloch Castle, the estate golf course, popular fishing beats, and fields dedicated to arable farming. The distillery uses these fields to grow spring barley, ensuring 100% of the barley used in whisky production comes from the estate. The distillery occupies a converted steading, where the team filled its first casks in September 2014.
Family-owned and operated, Guy MacPherson-Grant, the laird of the Ballindalloch Estate, is thoroughly involved with the running and development of the distillery. The MacPherson-Grant family has called Ballindalloch home since 1546 and boasts a rich history in distilling. The estate housed a small distillery in the 1800s, and Sir George MacPherson-Grant co-founded Cragganmore Distillery in 1869.
This is a single cask release, bottled exclusively for the UK market. Matured in Cask No. 33 - a first-fill Bourbon Hogshead, originally filled on 29th January 2015. Bottled on 10th July 2026, producing an outturn of 260 bottles.

Palate - Rich toffee, creamy caramel, vanilla fudge, fresh pear and apple with a distinctive mint chocolate note that develops beautifully.
Finish - Long, warming and sweet with lingering oak spice, caramel and cooling mint.

Tasting Rating Guide
1: Light, good for beginners - an aperitif on a summers day, i.e. Glengoyne, Auchentoshan
2: Also good for beginners but with more depth and body - a little stronger than 1, ie. Glenmorangie, Speyburn
3: A dram for everyone, a little more complex so the palate requires a little more experience, i.e. Cragganmore, Macallan
4: A stronger spirit, a big whisky with lots of character and body, excellent after dinner, i.e. Lagavulin, Laphroaig
