BALLECHIN 15 Year Old, 58.9% ABV

Ballechin Whisky is a robust and peaty single malt produced by the Edradour Distillery in Scotland. Known for its rich, smoky character, it features a deep complexity with notes of earthy peat, dried fruits, and a hint of spice. Ballechin is aged in a variety of casks, including bourbon, sherry, and wine, contributing to its unique flavor profile.

The Ballechin 15 Year Old is a limited edition single malt made from vatting First-fill Bourbon barrels and second-fill Oloroso sherry butts. The name 'Ballechin' originates from a Perthshire farm distillery, which sadly closed its doors in 1927.

Key Information

Serving Suggestions
First things first, be comfortable, relaxed and free from distractions. Pour a healthy amount (15-25ml) into a nosing glass (e.g., glencairn) and let it sit for a while. We recommend a minute of resting in the glass for every year in the cask. Otherwise, let it settle down for 5-10 minutes at least.

Help yourself to a 'warm up malt' in the meantime - something simple to open up the palate. When ready, start nosing the whisky, followed by sipping it (noting how it arrives on your palate and its development), and finally the finish. Take your time to get to know the spirit, noting its expression, character, depth, complexity and flavours. These can all change with adding drops of water so play around to find different sides of the spirit and identity a personal sweet spot for yourself!

But always remember, the best way to drink it is the way you like it!
