The Alistair Walker Whisky Company, based in Grangemouth, Central Scotland, was established in 2018. With almost 20 years’ experience in the Scotch whisky industry, Alistair took the plunge and decided to forge his own path – as an independent bottler. Independent bottlers, aka merchant bottlers, have been around for a long time. Quite simply, we source whiskies from different distilleries throughout Scotland (and beyond), and, when they are ready, we bottle them as single casks, in their most natural form – un-chill filtered, at natural colour, and usually at cask strength. The whiskies are bottled under the brand name ‘Infrequent Flyers’. That name refers to the nature of many of the casks that we bottle – often whiskies from lesser-known distilleries that are of excellent quality, but have never been widely or consistently available. As such, many of the bottlings are of whiskies that you just don’t see so often – hence the name ‘Infrequent Flyers’.

Alistair Walker Whisky Company Ltd Infrequent Flyers Mannochmore 17 Years Old Ruby Port 2008
50.4% abv
Nose: Strawberries and cream versus Biscoff biscuits. Anyone for tennis?
Taste: Mannoch – more, more, more! Very fruity – orange bitters, marmalade, apricots and peach cobbler, with ever-welcome crème brûlée. A sweet, peppery spice emerges, briefly, then fades. A cracking refill port cask, still influential, but with the foot slightly off the pedal.

Flowers are more to the fore here, with delicate fruits that gain in weight when matured. Although some older expressions have appeared on occasion, it is most commonly seen as a 12-year-old in the Flora & Fauna range.
