Allt-A-Bhainne 1979 16 Year Old The Castle Collection 5cl

A miniature bottle of Allt-A-Bhainne 16 Year Old. This was distilled in October 1979, and bottled in November 1995 for The Whisky Castle Tomintoul, The Castle Collection series.

Allt-a-Bhainne (pronounced Altavane) was founded in 1975 to produce whisky to go into the Chivas Brothers blends, though some found its way to independent bottlers. The unusual name is Gaelic for ‘burn, or stream, of milk’.

This lot comes from the extensive collection of a Merseyside collector who began his hobby with bottles bought for guests as digestifs at private dinner parties in the early 1970s. His interest led to him advertising in the UK national newspapers, and buying and selling bottles as far afield as Australia, America and Ireland, with his last significant addition being a collection he purchased from Stoke On Trent in 1984.
