Another Peated Whisky On The UK Block – Ailsa Bay
William Grant has officially joined the peated whisky fray with their release of Ailsa Bay for the first time outside of Scandinavia, where it was originally launched in late 2015.
Ailsa Bay peated whisky carries no age statement and is a blend of whiskies aged in four casks – refill oak, first fill bourbon, new oak and ex-baby bourbon – all from Hudson Distillery in the state of New York, that has been bottled at 48.9% alcohol content [97.8 proof].
Only 1800 bottles of Ailsa Bay peated whisky will be produced and are available exclusively in the UK for $80 per bottle.
