Built by William Grant & Sons in 2007 on the same Girvan site where Ladyburn had once stood, Ailsa Bay's first official bottling as a single malt, Ailsa Bay Sweet Smoke 1.1, was a no-age-statement, heavily peated whisky, released Feb 2016. The expression unleashed the full flexibiility of Ailsa Bay's production set up, combining innovative techniques in the way of spirit cut points, vatting, and maturation. Ailsa Bay is also the first whisky to have an analysed measurement of sweetness, made possible by processes coined by master blender Brian Kinsman.
