Samaroli 2009 Allt A Bhainne 2023 Single Malt Whisky 700ml

Samaroli 2009 Allt-A-Bhainne (2023) is a distinctive Single Malt Scotch Whisky distilled at Allt-A-Bhainne Distillery in Scotland and independently bottled by Samaroli in 2023.

Distilled in 2009 and matured for approximately 14 years, this expression showcases the character of a lesser-known Speyside distillery through Samaroli's independent bottling approach. The whisky combines bright fruit and floral aromas with creamy malt, vanilla, gentle spice and subtle oak.

The maturation gives the whisky a balanced combination of fresh fruit and soft sweetness with developing wood and spice characteristics. Bottled at 46.0% ABV, it retains good aromatic concentration while remaining smooth and approachable for sipping.

The combination of distillery provenance, vintage character and independent Samaroli bottling makes this expression particularly appealing to enthusiasts interested in exploring distinctive and less commonly encountered Scotch single malts.
