Ailsa Bay Single Malt

Ailsa Bay Single Malt originates from a Lowland distillery nestled on the Clyde coast, gazing towards the iconic Ailsa Craig and the islands of Kintyre and Arran. Established in 2007, this modern distillery uniquely crafts up to five distinct malt styles, ranging from delicate sweetness to robust, subtly sulphurous notes—a result of innovative steel condensers alongside traditional copper ones. Expect a complex character, with options including lightly peated expressions reaching 50ppm, all distilled using stills built to the exacting standards of The Balvenie. Bottled at 48.9% ABV, Ailsa Bay offers a fascinating glimpse into the potential of Lowland single malts.
