- Description
- Edradour's Ballechin 13-year-old from 2004 is a heavily peated Highland malt matured in Burgundy casks, combining earthy peat smoke with the wine-soaked complexity of burgundy oak. Bottled at cask strength with natural color retained, the wine cask has layered dried fruit and subtle tannins beneath the peat, creating tension and depth. A limited release of 404 bottles, suited to those seeking how Burgundy oak transforms peat-forward whisky.
