Ballechin is the registered trade mark for the heavily peated distillates of Edradour, the smallest distillery in Scotland. To pay tribute to the efforts of the farmers who started the whisky production there at the time, the name Ballechin has been reinstated. This is an interesting release, where a Sherry cask for their unpeated whisky is mixed with 3 Bourbon casks of their peated whisky. This gives a wonderful balance of smoky and sweet tones. The whisky is unchill filtered and has retained its natural colour.
