Ballechin is the heavily peated expression from Edradour — Scotland's smallest traditional distillery. Where standard Edradour is unpeated and sherried, Ballechin uses heavily peated barley to create a smoky Highland malt quite different from its gentle sibling. The 10 Year Old is the core expression.
The small stills at Edradour naturally produce a heavier spirit, and the heavy peating adds density and smoke. The combination creates a surprisingly intense Highland malt — more Islay in character than most Highland peated expressions.
Ballechin 10 is an interesting peated Highland malt from Scotland's most traditional small distillery. The heavy peating on Edradour's naturally heavy spirit produces a genuinely smoky whisky that competes with Islay offerings. A hidden gem from the smallest distillery in the Highlands.
