About Allt-a-Bhainne Distillery
Allt-A-Bhainne distillery, meaning ‘milk burn’ in Scottish Gaelic, is situated in the Speyside Region, near the renowned whisky town of Dufftown. Constructed in 1975 by Seagrams, it stands as one of Scotland’s newer distilleries, pioneering modern design principles with all equipment housed in a single room, streamlining the production process.
Initially established to supply bulk malt whisky for Chivas Brothers blends, Allt-A-Bhainne became part of the Pernod Ricard portfolio when they acquired Chivas Brothers in 2001. After a brief period of mothballing in 2002, the distillery resumed operations in 2005. In 2018, Allt-A-Bhainne introduced its first official malt bottling. While the distillery’s spirit serves as a primary malt ingredient in Chivas Regal blended Scotch, there was a limited release of single malt offerings in the late 2010s.

Allt-a-Bhainne is a renowned distillery located in Scotland with a rich heritage in producing fine whiskies. The rarity and quality of their products makes them desirable to collectors and enthusiasts, only increasing their value over time.
Whisky typically gains value as it ages and matures in the cask. The longer it remains in the cask, the more it has the potential to develop complexity and depth of flavors. We offer cask purchase programs that allow you to select the type of cask and aging duration, providing you with control over the maturation process.
Buying a cask allows you to own a unique piece of Bladnoch’s Kirkcowan Spirit production and a part of Bladnoch’s history. As the availability of aged and limited-edition whiskies decreases over time, the scarcity of these bottles can drive up their value.
Whisky has experienced growing popularity worldwide, particularly with the rise of collectors and investors seeking alternative assets. If the demand for premium Scotch whisky remains strong or continues to increase, it could positively impact the investment potential of your Kirkcowan Spirit (Bladnoch) cask. Recently we have seen the price of a standard bottle of Bladnoch rise from £40 to £80.
