Allt-a-Bhainne is a modern Speyside distillery founded in 1975 near Dufftown by Chivas Brothers to supply malt for blended Scotch. Its light, fresh and floral spirit has traditionally gone into blends, though it now also produces a lightly peated style, unusual for the region. Increasingly, it has gained attention through independent bottlings and a small number of official single malt releases.
