This bottling of a Ballindalloch single malt, an original distillery bottling, was produced as a 2015 vintage release specifically for the Benelux countries. The whisky was distilled in 2015, matured in first-fill ex-bourbon casks and first-fill ex-sherry butts, and was bottled in 2024 in a run of 1,200 bottles.
Ballindalloch is a distillery located in the village of the same name in Speyside, Scotland. It was founded in 2011 by the Macpherson-Grant family on the grounds of Ballindalloch Castle, and has been producing its own single malt since September 2014.
The Speyside lies in the north-east of the Highlands and is considered the centre of Scotland's whisky production. Around the towns of Elgin, Rothes, Keith and Dufftown there are more distilleries than anywhere else in Scotland, including big names such as Glenfarclas, Glenlivet, Macallan and many more.
Elegance and complexity are often cited as characteristic features of Speyside malts, but the variety of whiskies produced here is too great to speak of a single style.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
