Ballechin 10yo The Discovery Series is a remarkable whisky that hails from the Edradour Distillery, nestled in the picturesque Highlands of Scotland. This 10-year-old expression, bottled at 46% ABV, offers a captivating journey into the world of peated whiskies. The name Ballechin pays homage to a now-closed Perthshire farm distillery, which shut its doors in 1927. Notably, Alfred Barnard, a renowned whisky historian, once remarked on the distinctive peated whisky produced there. This exquisite bottling is crafted predominantly from ex-Bourbon casks, with a rich top dressing of ex-Oloroso Sherry casks, providing it with added depth and complexity. It is bottled without chill filtration, ensuring the preservation of its true cask character. Ballechin 10yo combines robust smokiness with a harmonious balance of spirit and wood, presenting a unique whisky experience that performs well beyond its age. Serge over at Whiskyfun awarded this whisky 89 points, and while opinions may vary, many agree that this dram often surpasses expectations with its well-integrated flavours and balance of peat smoke, fruitiness, and earthy undertones. It is a unicorn of sorts, offering a harmonious malt experience from the idiosyncratic Edradour distillery.
