Bottled by Infrequent Flyers

Infrequent Flyers is the single-cask range of the Alistair Walker Whisky Company, an independent bottler in Falkirk set up in 2018 by Alistair Walker. The producer says the name reflects the nature of many of its casks, often from lesser-known distilleries whose whiskies have not been widely or consistently available.

Releases are single casks, mostly single malts with the occasional single grain, bottled un-chill-filtered and at natural colour, usually at cask strength. An ‘undisclosed’ bottling, such as the Orkney malt here, is one where the source distillery is not named on the label. As each cask is a one-off bottling, listings shift once an outturn is exhausted.

For context on single-cask independent bottlings, see Whiskipedia on independent bottlers, and our single cask and single grain pages.

31 full-size bottles (50cl to 1 litre) in stock, with the best current price from the UK retailers we check.
