Notes
Single cask, port-matured, cask strength 18 year old Ballechin, exclusive to Luvians.
Distillery Note:
Ballechin is the heavily peated malt that we make at Edradour, using malt that is usually peated to a level of at least 50ppm. Distilled on 20th April 2004 and filled into cask number 202, a carefully selected first use Port hogshead, and the spirit was fully matured in that cask.
Burnt orange in colour, the spirit reveals notes of soft black grapes, dates, prunes, spicy herbs and saddle leather, wrapped around the rich smoke and peat from the Ballechin spirit. Hints of cinnamon and leaf tobacco also emerge on the finish. Despite its relatively low strength, this is a feisty malt.

Briny, smoky and herbal characters leap from the glass….Initially a hit of sweetness (vanilla) then a wave of smoke, which leads on to spice and a lovely sugared almond note to the finish.

Barley sugars, salted caramel, blanched almond and dried apricots on the nose. Initial delicate sweetness on the palate gives way to creamy cereal – Special K topped with granola! – and a drying finish.

The nose kicks off like a walk through a summer garden, finished off with round of buttered granary toast with honey. The palate is big, the floral notes giving way to pears in syrup, some lightly charred oak and a touch of salt.

Bacon straight away, but that then fades and gives way to warm bonfire, sweet tobacco and just a note of rubber. With more time in the glass treacle, cereal and pleasant soapiness. The palate is lead by sweet fruit and honey, then peppery heat, and an oily, woodsmoke finish. A complex and evolving whisky.
