Ballechin 2006 Aged 18 Years Small Batch Cask Strength Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky – Batch 2 (700ml)
Volume: 700ml ABV: 57.8% Age: 18 Years Old Country: Scotland
Ballechin is produced at the Edradour distillery. The name Ballechin originates from a fellow Perthshire farm distillery, which sadly closed its doors in 1927. There, Alfred Barnard, who catalogued all the distilleries in the UK in the 1880’s, made reference to having experienced a peated whisky.
Ballechin was first produced in 2003 using heavily peated barley which has a peated level of no less than 50ppm
This bottling is a vatting of first fill Bourbon barrels and 2nd fill Oloroso Sherry Butts matured for no less than 18 years. It has been bottled at 57.8% natural cask strength, without chill filtration, to retain the true cask character.
Our Tasting Notes
Nose: Powerful peat smoke, with hints of bonfire embers, and a touch of creosote. Subtle sweet notes, such as caramel or toffee, provide a slight counterpoint. Earthy undertones, with hints of damp moss and wet leather. A spicy edge, with notes of black pepper and a suggestion of iodine.
Palate: Rich and full-bodied, with a pronounced peat smoke presence and an oily texture. Intense earthy flavours, with notes of damp earth and wood smoke. A subtle sweetness emerges, with hints of dark chocolate and dried fruit. Warming spice notes, such as clove and liqourice, add complexity.
Finish: Long and lingering finish, dominated by peat smoke and earthy notes. A hint of sweetness and a salty tang. The smoky notes fade, leaving behind a dry, ashy character.
