- Description
- Edradour's Ballechin name denotes its peaty house style, and this 13-year-old spent its maturation in a Port cask, adding layers of red fruit and tannin to the smoky character. Expect peat smoke interwoven with plum, dark cherry, and a subtle spiced oak framework. The texture is dry and grippy at cask strength, with a finish that marries smoke and wine-soaked timber. A distinctive expression for those who enjoy peat tempered by wine cask influence.
