- Description
- Edradour's Ballechin 13 Year Old, distilled in 2004 and matured in a Port cask before bottling in July 2017, presents the distillery's heavily peated style mellowed by port wood influence. The peat remains assertive, but dried fruit, warming spice, and tannin from the Portuguese cask add structure and sweetness to the smoke. At cask strength and limited to 409 bottles, this is a characterful Highland peated expression. Best suited to those seeking peat with port-driven richness.
