Ballechin 10 years

Ballechin is the heavily peated distillation made at Edradour Distillery since 2003.

Distilled using barley which has been infused with peat to a level not less than 50ppm.

This bottling is predominantly from ex Bourbon casks with a generous top dressing of ex Oloroso Sherry casks, to create added depth and greater complexity. It has been bottled at 46%, without chillfiltration, to retain the true cask character.

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.

Edradour Distillery

Edradour Distillery is located in the picturesque highlands of Scotland, near the village of Pitlochry in Perthshire. Founded in 1825, Edradour is known as one of the smallest traditional distilleries in Scotland, which adds to the charm and exclusivity of the whisky.

A specific feature of Edradour is its artisan production, which still involves a lot of handwork. The distillery uses traditional copper pot stills and produces only a limited amount of whisky per year. This results in unique and carefully crafted single malts. Edradour whiskies are known for their rich and full flavour profiles, with notes of sherry, fruitcake, honey and spices. The whisky is mainly matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and sherry casks, which contributes to the complexity and depth of flavours.

The combination of historic charm, artisan production and rich flavour profiles makes Edradour a beloved name among whisky connoisseurs worldwide.
