Dalrymple is a 10-year-old teaspooned malt originating from Ailsa Bay Distillery, built by William Grant & Sons at Girvan. Distilled in 2015 and matured in a bourbon barrel, it offers a bright, clean and fruity character with notes of vanilla, honey and soft oak spice. The addition of a tiny amount of another single malt means it cannot be labelled as an Ailsa Bay single malt, while remaining essentially whisky from the original distillery. Bottled at 43% ABV in a 500ml format, it is fresh, elegant and beautifully balanced.

Ailsa Bay Distillery
Origin Story

Ailsa Bay Distillery

Built by William Grant & Sons in 2007 on the Girvan site once home to Ladyburn, Ailsa Bay was created to relieve pressure on Balvenie and supply malt for Grant’s blends. Designed for flexibility, it can produce several spirit styles, from fruity and nutty to heavily peated. Its first official single malt appeared in 2016, showcasing an experimental approach to cut points, maturation and even sweetness measurement. Today, Ailsa Bay remains a modern Lowland distillery known for innovation, versatility and precision.

FROM THE PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT IT

Real Bottles, Real Reviews

Feedback from customers who’ve ordered from Ardent and experienced it for themselves.

The independent difference

Why choose an independent bottling?

Chosen for character, not consistency
1 · Sourcing

Chosen for character, not consistency

We buy casks directly from distillery stock and taste before we commit - never to recreate a standard house style.

A single cask, never blended
2 · Cask selection

A single cask, never blended

Every release comes from one individually selected cask. No other whisky is blended in to standardise the flavour.

Bottled where it tastes its best
3 · Bottling

Bottled where it tastes its best

We bring each cask to the ABV where we believe its flavour and character show at their best - with no colouring or chill filtration.

Limited, and never repeated
4 · Availability

Limited, and never repeated

Once a cask is gone, that release is gone. No recreations, no repeats.
