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
Part of the Straight From The Cask range. This bottling was aged for 12 years in a single ex-Oloroso Sherry cask. Distilled on the 22nd of July 2011 and bottled on the 25th of January 2024 from cask number 260. Only 850 bottles were produced worldwide.
Our Tasting Notes
Nose: Intense peat smoke, with notes of burning embers, and a hint of tar. Rich sherry sweetness, with aromas of dried figs, dates, and raisins. Subtle hints of dark chocolate and leather. A touch of spice, clove and black pepper, adds complexity.
Palate: Full-bodied and powerful, with a rich, oily texture. Dominant peat smoke, with a pronounced earthy character. Sweet sherry notes provide a counterpoint, with flavours of dark fruit and molasses. Warming spice notes, along with hints of espresso and liqourice. The high alcohol content contributes to a long, lingering intensity.
Finish: Long and complex finish with a compelling interplay of smoke and sweetness. The peat smoke gradually fades, leaving behind notes of dark chocolate and dried fruit. A hint of spice and a subtle salty tang. Lingering warmth and a dry, smoky finish.
