- Description
- This heavily peated Ballechin from Edradour was distilled in December 2005, matured in a Bordeaux cask, and bottled at cask strength in 2017 as one of 413 bottles. The Highland distillery's small still produces a distinctive smoky profile that benefits from the unconventional wood choice.
