This is the core expression of 10 year old Ballechin single malt Scotch whisky, which is heavily peated whisky from Edradour. It has been named for the silent Ballechin distillery near the Edradour distillery. Releases under the Ballechin name from Edradour were previously presented as part of The Discovery Series, many of which were matured in different types of casks, including Sherry, bourbon and a selection of wine casks. This 10 year old expression, however, comes from a combination of ex-Oloroso Sherry and ex-bourbon casks.
Oily malt, whiffs of burnt ends and BBQ char, a few touches of apple and fig.
Chewy dates and oak, with smouldering peat bringing spicy heat to the palate.
A hint of ash sticks around on the finish.
Heavily peated, yes, a decent example, yes, but lives up to the hype, well not quite for me. I have seen it reviewed as disappointing. I wasn't disappointed but neither did it quite reach the heights I was hoping for. Value for money, only just. Overall, it didn't quite do it for me.
A very dry and ashy nose. Can convince and even surprise the most diehard Islay fans. Taste: rich, oily, spicy and lots of nifty peatsmoke. With water even better, gaining a subtle sweetness
This is definitely heavily peated. On a good day, it has an undercurrent of complexity that compares well with Ledaig and Longrow and Kilkerran, but on a bad day, it's too assertive and one dimensional to contrast well. Overall, it was an interesting alternative, but I would choose the other three every time I would however test out another Edradour, as this has piqued my interest enough to dig a little further.
The peat lingers but smooth on the palate. Sitting besides the Spey with a wee dram. Perfect
Fantastic, one for a cold day out on the course.
£5.59 - £43.90
