Edradour Ballechin #6

Country: Scotland

Region: Highlands

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 46%

Score: 93 Points

Ballechin is the name for Edradour’s peated single malts, and the nose on this one is dominated by peat and oak campfire smoke with cocoa and caramel notes underneath. The taste is thick and rich with pepper and peat notes that peak separately for a unique complexity with hints of vanilla and caramel underneath. The finish is long and tangy like a smoky barbecue sauce.
