Introducing the Ballechin 18yo Small Batch Bottling, a Highland single malt scotch whisky from the esteemed Edradour distillery. This special release marks the 20th anniversary of the first distillation of peated malt at the distillery. Bottled after an exceptional 18-year maturation in ex-bourbon American oak casks, this whisky boasts a phenol content of 50 parts per million, resulting in a rich and smoky flavor profile.
The Ballechin 18-year-old is a heavily peated single malt, aged exclusively in ex-bourbon barrels. The nose is greeted with a blend of sweet honey and iodine peat, accompanied by hints of dried fruit and nutty notes. As the spirit unfolds on the palate, gentle smoke and oak spices are lightened by the sweetness of barley sugar and exotic fruits, leading to a long and warming finish of rich pomegranate, warm caramel, and a hint of leather.
This small batch bottling is a testament to Edradour distillery's commitment to traditional whisky-making methods, producing a well-rounded and complex expression that is sure to delight whisky enthusiasts and collectors alike.
