- Description
- Ballechin, the peated alter ego of Edradour, spent 15 years in refill casks before a final maturation in orange wine casks from Huelva's solera system. Expect the distillery's characteristic smoke and earth alongside unusual citrus and wine-soaked spice from the finishing cask. Bottled at 54.1% ABV without chill filtration or added colour, the texture is rich and oily with a long, peppery finish tinged with candied orange. This is for adventurous drinkers who want peat tempered by wine-cask complexity.
