Macaloney's An Aba Single Malt Whisky

An Aba, our Whiskymaker's lightly peated 'sherried', signature expression was crafted from a select marrying of Kentucky Bourbon casks, Spanish Oloroso barriques, Portuguese shaved-toasted-re-charred (STR) red wine barriques, virgin American oak casks, and Spanish Pedro Ximénez casks.

Macaloney's An Aba Single Malt Whisky Tasting Notes

Nose: Complex and layered whisky with light peat on the nose, including fresh pine and oak, orange liqueur, lemon sherbet, rum and raisin fruit cake, liquorice, vanilla sponge cake, ripe banana, gooseberry, red currant, dried mango, and milk chocolate.

Palate: It has a lush creamy mouthfeel, medium peat, burnt heather, and bonfire embers, leading to prunes, dried figs, and apricots. Also on the palate, there is malted milk, stewed apples, peaches, blooming heather, lavender, and daffodils, developing to linseed oil, marzipan, lingering oak, and a dry, light peat finish with an essence of the seaside, befitting our island location.

Finish: The lengthy and slightly warm finish has lingering cinnamon and oak spice notes.

Distillery Information

Macaloney's Island Distillery & Twa Dogs Brewery is a producer of premium malt whiskies and superb craft beers. Our basic tour lasts 45 mins and begins in our visitor’s centre and flows the way the spirits go, past the grist mill where you can taste some of the various strains of malted & un- malted barley, or other cereals that we as a craft brewer as well as a distiller get to play and experiment with. Onward into the heart of the Brew & Still house through the smells of the mash tun & wash backs, past the gleaming swan necked Stills and then up into the warehouse and bottling hall before returning back to the visitor’s centre for a wee dram of two of the whiskies in our Macaloney Cask Selection series along with three of our craft beers.
