- Description
- Edradour's Ballechin line signals peat, and this 10-year-old from an Oloroso cask delivers exactly that promise—smoke tempered by rich sherry sweetness. The oloroso maturation adds layers of dark chocolate, dried fruit, and warming spice over the peated base, creating balance rather than aggression. Bottled at cask strength 60.1% ABV, it's a textured, full-bodied dram with a sustained finish. Perfect for peated whisky enthusiasts seeking complexity beyond smoke.
