Description

Ballechin 20 Years Cask Strength 1st Fill Bourbon Barrels Whisky

Meet the smoky and bold side of Edradour with the Ballechin 20 Years Cask Strength Whisky, a peated single malt that has been patiently aged for two decades in first-fill bourbon barrels. Bottled at its natural strength, this whisky showcases a brilliant golden hue and offers a beautiful balance between the powerful peat smoke and the influence of bourbon casks, with layers of spice and white fruits playing harmoniously against the rich smokiness. This is a whisky for those who crave intensity with refinement.

Production details: Ballechin, the peated variant from the Edradour Distillery, spends 20 years maturing in first-fill bourbon barrels, allowing the whisky to develop complex flavors of spice, vanilla, and ripe fruit from the cask while maintaining its robust smoky character. The whisky is bottled at cask strength, capturing the full power of its natural flavor profile without dilution, making it a bold and authentic expression of this Highland distillery’s skill in creating peated single malts.

Serving suggestions: Best enjoyed neat for the full cask strength experience, or with a splash of water to temper the peat and allow the underlying fruity and spicy notes to emerge. Pair this whisky with smoked meats, strong cheeses, or dark chocolate to complement its powerful profile. It’s a perfect companion for an evening of deep contemplation or celebration.

Additional information: As a limited-edition release, the Ballechin 20 Years Cask Strength is a must-try for fans of peated whisky and those seeking a bold and richly textured dram. Its long aging process has allowed the whisky to develop a nuanced depth that marries the smoky elements with the sweet, fruity characteristics of the bourbon barrels. This is an exceptional example of how time and tradition can create something extraordinary.
