Alness 12-year-old pst

We have married the rare, industrial muscle of heavily peated Dalmore with the vibrant, grassy elegance of Teaninich matured in first-fill barrels. Like the chimeric taxidermy on the label, this liquid is a beautiful contradiction. Alness Blended Malt Scotch Whisky 12 Years Old, 2026 Release 800 bottles 50% ABV Artwork by: @KMGYEAH A surrealist encounter in the heart of Ross-Shire. Nose: The nose is an eccentric delight, opening with a nostalgic hit of foam bananas and sharp tangerine pith. Zesty lemon notes and the savoury, briny tang of caperberries in saline solution provide a striking coastal edge, softened by fresh green herbs -specifically torn parsley. As it sits, the profile turns floral and sweet: apple blossom and clear honey are layered over a tropical dusting of coconut shavings. The peat is a masterclass in restraint, drifting in and out with a soft, elegant subtlety that never overwhelms the delicate fruit. Palate: The arrival is creamy and surprisingly cooling, led by vanilla yoghurt and a gentle, medicinal hint of iodine. The smoke here is “zingy” and fresh, moving quickly into the warmth of oak spice and polished sandalwood. The tropical theme returns with coconut yoghurt, topped with a tart, vibrant mix of chopped kiwi and crisp green apple. It is a bright, multi-dimensional palate that balances its Highland weight with a lively, acidic lift. Finish: Long and impeccably balanced. It maintains a beautiful acidity throughout, finishing on a lingering trail of gentle wood spices and the comforting sweetness of high-quality toasted oak. This world first Alness blended malt brings together two neighbouring titans in a way never before seen. Non-chill filtered and natural colour. This spirit may haze at low temperatures and under dilution.
