Ballechin 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky β 70cl
The most dramatic and unexpected expression in the Edradour stable β Ballechin is the distillery's dedicated heavily peated style, reviving the name of a Perthshire distillery that operated near Edradour in the 19th century before closing in 1927. At over 50 PPM phenol level, Ballechin uses heavily peated malt to create a spirit of bold, assertive smoke that is then matured in a combination of sherry and ex-bourbon casks β the sherry providing a rich, dark fruit counterweight to the substantial Highland peat in a combination that rewards both peat enthusiasts and sherry lovers in equal measure. Non-chill filtered and with natural colour, Ballechin 10 Year Old is one of the most characterful and genuinely individual heavily peated single malts available to buy online in Singapore β a whisky that defies expectations and delivers considerably more than its modest price suggests.

Long and intense.
