Description
An official release of Ballechin, a 10 year old, from 2009, cask 343, at 59.1%, 948 bottles in all. Ballechin is Edradour's smoky single malt, peated to around fifty parts per million. The peated Ballechin lays heavy smoke over the rich, oily Edradour spirit.
The spirit was worked through worm tubs from heavily peated malt for a smoky, oily spirit, for a heavy, smoky spirit with an oily depth. Maturation came in an Oloroso cask, layered over the rich Edradour make. By the integrating teens congeners fade and esters build, the smoke knitting with the rich, oily spirit. Years in oak round the spirit, the dried fruit and chocolate deepening over the oily core. Under Signatory the range has grown to a wide run of sherry and wine cask bottlings. The distillery sits in a pocket glen at Balnauld, in the hills above Pitlochry in Perthshire.
At a natural 59.1% it is full and oily. Peat smoke, dried fruit and a nutty oil, with dried fruit, fig and walnut from the cask. It is rich and smoky, the oily spirit shining through. The close is oily and smoky, fruit over a tarry oak. This is the oily, smoky malt of Ballechin.
