Single Malt Whiskey Ballechin SFTC Oloroso Cask, 11 years, 59.2% vol., Highland

What does malt with at least 50 ppm smoke content and maturation time in very different types of casks produce? Variety, depth and multi-dimensional smoky pleasure. This is what the Ballechin brand from `Scotland`s Little Gem`, the Edradour Distillery, stands for. Still largely made as it was when the legendary distillery, the favorite of many whisky fans, was founded, the Highland Single Malts from Ballechin are the peatiest that Edradour has to offer. For a single cask bottling, Andrew Symington`s team gave the `Heavily Peated` whisky a special treatment. Ballechin Straight from the Cask (SFTC) 11 yo was allowed to spend its entire maturation period in an Oloroso Sherry Cask 266. After more than a decade in an Andalusian oak cask, lush, dark notes and heavy smoke form a delicious liaison. 881 of the 0.5 liter bottles are ready to make peat lovers` dreams come true.
