Ballechin 15 Years Old Small Batch Cask Strength Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
Volume: 700ml ABV: 58.9% Age: 15 Years Old Country: Scotland
Ballechin is produced at the Edradour distillery. The name Ballechin originates from a fellow Perthshire farm distillery, which sadly closed its doors in 1927. There, Alfred Barnard, who catalogued all the distilleries in the UK in the 1880’s, made reference to having experienced a peated whisky.
Ballechin was first produced in 2003 using heavily peated barley which has a peated level of no less than 50ppm
This bottling is a vatting of first fill Bourbon barrels and 2nd fill Oloroso Sherry Butts matured for no less than 15 years. It has been bottled at 58.9% natural cask strength, without chill filtration, to retain the true cask character.
