Allt-A-Bhainne is gaelic and means ,milk spring‘.

The distillery Allt-á-Bhainne is located about eight kilometer away from Dufftown at the northern foothills of the Ben Rinnes. It has been build to produce malt whisky for the blended whisky of Chivas Brothers, as there are Chivas Regal, Passport and 100 Pipes.

Originally designed to produce a light, estery malt for blending requirements, in recent years it has also occasionally produced a heavily-peated variant. Allt-a-Bhainne is only very occasionally seen as a single malt bottling. 

Allt-á-Bhainne is a very modern distillery. There are pagoda roofs but they have no function at all. The complete distilling process can be controlled by just one person. There are just nine employees for the whole distillery. There are no warehouses at the distillery. The new make will be reduced with water and then transported with road tankers to Keith. In Keith there are old hangers which are used as warehouses now.
