Teaninich, an early legal distillery established in 1817, was constructed in the Ross-shire town of Alness by the Napoleonic war hero and estate owner, ‘Blind’ Captain Hugh Munro. This 10-year-old expression is one of the few single malt bottlings produced by the distillery, as most of its production goes into blended whisky. It belongs to Diageo’s Flora and Fauna range.
Available in a 700ml bottle, at 43% abv.
