Ballechin 2004 13 Year Old Port Cask 215 - Straight From The Cask (50cl, 54.2%) ***sold***
1 of 408 bottles. A fruity, smoky addition to Edradour’s excellent Straight From The Cask series (with Ballechin the name of the Highland distillery’s peated range). Bottled at a bold cask strength of 54.2% ABV, and without chill filtration or colouration, this is a whisky that lives up to the “Straight From The Cask” name. Packaged in a lovely crate, this would make a great gift for any whisky lover.
Ballechin is the heavily peated single malt produced at Edradour. When Signatory Vintage took over the distillery in 2002, they installed former Laphroaig distillery manager, Iain Henderson, as Director of Operations, and inspired by his previous place of work, the first peated distillation at Edradour took place in 2003. Generally matured in a range of different wine casks, the first bottlings were turned out in 2006.
