連日的雨天濕白了窗戶
屋篷下似乎像是個月台
拿緊借來的偵探小說集
貓兒也正甩開身上水滴
【Introduction of Distillery】
1970年代的蘇格蘭威士忌產業，需要生產更多烈酒來讓供需平衡，在這種前景樂觀的狀態下，加拿大公司 Seagram 於 1975年建造了 Allt-A-Bhainne 酒廠。
它是第一家以現代風格設計的酒廠，所有設備都在同一個房間內，一端是糖化槽，另一端是四座蒸餾器，從開始到結束的過程可由一個人完成。
二十一世紀初期，威士忌產業的市場趨於飽和，導致 Allt-A-Bhainne 酒廠曾於 2002年末到 2005年短暫封存了幾年。幸好後來因為 Chivas Brothers Ltd. 需要泥煤麥芽威士忌才得以重啟運作，且從那時開始生產 10~20ppm 的泥煤麥芽威士忌，約佔總產量的 30~50%。
這次我們挑選的這桶 Allt-A-Bhainne，帶有明亮桃子果香及奶油氣息，滑順口感散發花蜜甜感與堅果調性，尾韻則是淡淡瓜果甜香，能品嚐到在 2002年封廠前酒廠所擁有的美好風味。
