This is the core expression of the 10-year ballechin single malt scotch whiskey, which is highly felt whiskey from edradour. It has been named after the quiet ballechin -destillery near the edradour distiller. Releases under the Ballechin Name from Edradour were previously presented as part of the Discovery Series, many of which were ripened in different types of dishes, including Sherry, Bourbon and a selection of vineyards. However, this 10 year old expression comes from a combination of ex-Oloroso Sherry and Ex-Bourbon dishes.
Nose: Oily malt, fragrance of burnt ends and grills, a few touches of apple and fig.
Taste: Chewing dates and oak with smoldering peat that brings spicy heat to the palate.
Finish: A touch of ash sticking around the finish.
