Description

“The ‘Infrequent Flyers’ range is a series of single cask bottlings of Scotch whiskies, sourced from the many distilleries throughout Scotland. Our bottlings are predominantly single malts, though now and again we release a single grain. These whiskies are all bottled in their most authentic form – un-chill filtered, at natural colour, and usually at cask strength.

Each single cask that is bottled is unique – they are one-offs, and by their very nature only generate a limited number of bottles. Once they’re gone, they’re gone…

Unusually, we don’t include tasting notes on our labels – this is by design, rather than error! Whisky is quite subjective; everyone has their own opinion as to what they experience in a particular dram. We don’t want to tell you what to look out for – but will let you figure it out yourself. We do, however, use a little terminology to provide some guidance – on the front label we categorise the style of the whisky, as either Classic (i.e. non-peated), Peated (i.e. smoky, phenolic), Triple Distilled or Wood Finish (where the whisky has spent some time maturing or finishing in different wood, such as a sherry cask, for example). This may be somewhat of an over-simplification, but it provides a starting point – the rest is up to you!”

This 15 year old single malt was distilled at Auchroisk in May 2006, and matured for 15 years, including a finish in a Sauternes hogshead. In 2021, the team at indie bottler Alistair Walker opened the cask to release a total of 286 bottled for its Infrequent Flyers series.
