Product description

Product description
At 58.9% vol., the Ballechin 17 Year Old First Fill Ruby Port Hogshead combines strong Highland peat with the deep sweetness and fruitiness of a Ruby Port cask. Flavours of dark berries, ripe cherries and chocolate merge with smoky, earthy notes and a fine woody spiciness. The result is a particularly complex Single Malt with a velvety texture and a long, fruity and smoky finish. The Ballechin Single Malts from the traditional Edradour Distillery stand for intensely peated Scotch Whisky with a clear, smoky style and a phenol content of at least 50 ppm. As the distillery's peated line with a strong character, they are aimed at lovers of strong, smoky Single Malts with a clear peat profile and structured flavour. All bottlings appear in Signatory Vintage's Cask Strength Collection and are consistently bottled at cask strength, without chill-filtration and without colouring. This ensures that the unadulterated character of the selected casks is fully preserved.
