The second iteration of Ailsa Bay single malt, replacing the version released in 2016, is both peatier and sweeter than its predecessor. It has, however, gone through the same micro-maturation process as the first edition - one that sees the spirit first filled into smaller-than-average bourbon casks for six to nine months, a process that accelerates maturation before it is then transferred into more traditional casks for several years.
Ailsa Bay
One of Scotland’s more mysterious distilleries, this malt producer is situated within the huge Girvan grain distillery site, where Ladyburn once resided. Established by William Grant & Sons in 2007 to provide various styles of distillates for its blending requirements, it also lightened the load on Balvenie and Glenfiddich to support their parent blends. Ailsa Bay is also home to experimentation and made its own single malt debut in 2016 with a heavily peated style that emphasised a sweet aspect to the experience. Other releases have followed since yet Ailsa Bay remains somewhat of an enigma despite having 8 pairs of stills and an annual output that is more than most distilleries.
