Thank you Dan Graham for the opportunity to taste this fantastic whisky. It was distilled in 1995 at the Allt-A-Bhainne distillery, at the foot of Ben Rinnes Mountain, matured for 22 years in an ex-Bourbon hogshead, finished for 3 years in a first-fill Pedro Ximenez Sherry cask for 3 years, and bottled by Murray McDavid. This single cask whisky yielded 294 bottles.
