ALLT-A-BHAINNE 16 ans 2008 Sherry Cask Hidden Spirit

This Allt-A-Bhainne, distilled in 2008 and aged for 16 years in a sherry cask, was bottled by Hidden Spirits at its natural strength. This Speyside single malt reveals a generous and complex character, where the influence of the sherry cask perfectly complements the fruity, creamy sweetness of the distillate. Notes of dried fruits, toffee, and chocolate mingle with hints of candied orange and delicate spices. Founded in 1975 in the heart of Speyside, the Allt-A-Bhainne distillery was originally designed to supply whisky for blends. Yet, as a single malt, it reveals a distinctive personality — rich, malty, slightly floral, with a modern and appealing style. Still little known to the wider public, it has become a favourite among independent bottlers thanks to the expressiveness and balance of its spirit. Hidden Spirits is an independent Italian bottler founded in 2013 by Andrea Ferrari, based in Ferrara. Its philosophy is built on the meticulous selection of unique casks chosen for their authenticity and balance. Each release, often from a single cask and bottled without chill filtration or colouring, highlights the pure character of the whisky. Hidden Spirits has earned a strong reputation among enthusiasts for the precision of its selections and its sincere approach, combining the richness of Scotch whisky with a distinctly Italian elegance.
