- Description
- Ballechin is Edradour's peated alter ego, and this 11-year-old spent maturation in a single Bordeaux wine cask, adding wine-soaked tannins to the Highland malt's smoky, earthy foundation. Bottled at natural cask strength in 2018, it yields just 385 bottles of an unusually wine-influenced take on peated Scotch.
