Tasting Notes
This 15-year-old Ballechin single malt whisky is a true delight for the senses. Aged in unique orange wine casks from Andalucia, it captivates with a vibrant aroma of fresh orange peels, rich marmalade, and delicate citrus blossoms, complemented by hints of honeyed stone fruits, peat smoke, and charred oak. On the palate, flavors of candied mango and dried orange wheels mingle harmoniously with spiced honey and bold, peated barley, while the earthy smoke is beautifully balanced by a delightful citrus sweetness, eventually joined by notes of creamy vanilla. The finish lingers with baking spices, gentle smoke, candied citrus, a touch of peppercorn, and warm nutmeg, leaving a lasting impression. This remarkable whisky, bottled at cask strength of 54.1% ABV, showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of Edradour Distillery and the unique influence of the orange wine casks.
