The distillery, near Alness was founded in 1817, grew very quickly and was extened in 1899. In 1970 a new stillhouse was constructed. With its six stills visible from the road it looks a very modern establishment. It closed in the mid 1980s but reopened in 1991 and there may be future official bottlings.

Sweet and smokey at the same time. Best diluted a bit (indecipherable notes -- perhaps too late in the evening to be trusted fully?) [lh]

SMWS bottling 59.2 Teaninich.
Said to come from an amontillado sherry cask, but there was a definite hint of salt, so I wonder whether it was a manzanilla cask. 12 years old and 115.7%! To be treated with great care, and a lot of water, but had a pleasant citrusy flavour at the end. [rb]
