Aldunie 26 Year Old 1997 Whisky Blues

Aldunie 26 Year Old 1997 Whisky Blues 52.6% 70cl

A delight of a well-aged Speyside single malt from The Whisky Blues. Aldine is the name given to independently bottled Kininvie, and this expression has been matured for over a quarter of a century in a barrel. Canadian illustrator Steve Mcdonald has designed the label and pack, tasting inspiration from the flavour profile of the whisky. Bottled at 52.6% ABV, it’s a hearty whisky, packed with all manner of tropical fruit, bakery and herbaceous notes.
