Ballindalloch Distillery

Ballindalloch Aberdeen Angus 150th Anniversary

ABV: 50% 70 cL

The 2026 release marks the 150th edition of Aberdeen-Angus Cattle Society Herd Book, a major milestone, and the collaboration through a special release of Ballindalloch Speyside Since Malt Scotch Whisky.

Ballindalloch Estate is not just famous for its long history of Scotch whisky production, it is also known globally for its pedigree herd of Aberdeen Angus cattle, the oldest such herd is the world. This relationship between the two is more important than you may think - The pedigree herd is key to the circular economy of the single malt production at Ballindalloch Estate. The herd of Aberdeen-Angus eats the draff from the distillery and also provides key fertiliser for the fields while they are fallow in the crop rotation. This is a vital part of what allows Ballindalloch to be one of the very few single estate distilleries in the world.

This single malt was carefully married using first fill ex-Sherry and first fill ex-Bourbon casks to create one of Ballindalloch Distilleries best releases yet.

Fruit salad, ripe bananas and a hint of tangerine with some time open to air.

Ballindalloch Distillery, founded in 2014 on the Ballindalloch Castle Estate in Speyside, is owned and run by the Macpherson-Grant family. It was created by converting 19th-century farm buildings into a small, traditional distillery, built by local craftsmen with minimal automation. Known as Scotland’s first single-estate distillery, Ballindalloch grows all its own barley, uses water from springs on the estate, and returns spent grain to the land for cattle feed. Production is deliberately slow, with long fermentation times and copper pot stills paired with worm-tub condensers, producing a rich and fruity Speyside spirit. With an annual capacity of around 100,000 litres, it focuses on craftsmanship, provenance, and patience—bottling only after proper maturation to reflect the estate’s natural character and dedication to quality.
