Tasting Notes
Ballechin 15 Year Old 2009 - Orange Wine Cask is a tantalizing single malt that seamlessly blends peat and citrus in a symphony of flavors. Upon nosing, it unveils a fresh and zesty bouquet of orange peels, rich marmalade, and delicate citrus blossom notes, intertwined with the warmth of honeyed stone fruits and a hint of peat smoke and oak char lurking in the depths. The palate is a delightful interplay of candied mango, dried orange wheels, spiced honey, and bold, peated barley, where the earthy smoke is beautifully balanced by the citrus sweetness, complemented by notes of vanilla cream. The finish lingers with baking spices, gentle smoke, candied citrus, a touch of peppercorn, and nutmeg warmth, leaving a lasting impression. This Highland whisky, matured for 15 years and finished in orange wine casks from Huelva, Andalucia, showcases an exceptional fusion of peat and citrus influences, bottled at a cask strength of 54.1% ABV with its natural color.
