GrainHenge Whisky proudly unveils Alliance No. 2, the brand’s first ever five-year-aged single malt whisky. This release not only represents exceptional craftsmanship but is also a testament to the company’s unwavering commitment to innovation, and its impact on the whisky industry and community.
Under the parent company of Troubled Monk, GrainHenge leverages the knowledge and experience gained from both realms of brewing and distilling. This innovative advantage has led to the creation of Alliance No. 2, inspired by the malts used in Pesky Pig, a beer crafted by the brewery. What makes this release truly special is its aging process in a barrel initially intended for barleywine, which left an indelible mark on the spirit, infusing it with a distinct character.
This whisky is the result of years of meticulous craftsmanship and innovation, and we are confident that it will stand as a testament to our commitment to producing the finest single malt whisky.
