Ballechin is the heavily peated distillation made at Edradour Distillery since 2003. Distilled using barley which has been infused with peat to a level not less than 50 ppm.
This bottling is predominantly from ex Bourbon casks with a generous top dressing of ex Oloroso Sherry casks, to create added depth and greater complexity. It has been bottled at 46%, without chillfiltration, to retain the true cask character.
The name Ballechin originates from a fellow Perthshire farm distillery, which sadly closed its doors in 1927. There, Alfred Barnard, who catalogued all the distilleries in the UK in the 1880’s, made reference to having experienced a peated whisky.
Natural colour, unchill filtered.

Nestled in a pocket glen, in the hills above Pitlochry in the Southern Highlands, lies Edradour, the smallest distillery in scotland. The neat cluster of buildings, virtually unchanged in the last 150 years, houses equipment only just capable of producing commercial quantities. Indeed, only 12 casks a week are produced, making Edradour Single Malt Whisky a rare pleasure for a fortunate few.
The men of edradour – only three in number, as there always have been – continue to produce the finest single malt whisky available, a truly hand crafted malt.
