Ballechin (Edradour) 12 yr Sherry Cask Strength (Dist 2009) Whiskey 700ml

Bottled directly from the cask without dilution or chill-filtering, this 12-year-old single malt embodies Edradour’s traditional wooden washback process while delivering deep sherry-driven complexity.

Produced at Scotland’s smallest licensed single malt distillery, the spirit matures in seasoned sherry hogsheads that concentrate notes of dried fig, ripe plum, and warm oak tannins. Distilled in 2009 and aged for exactly twelve years before bottling, each 700ml bottle contains whiskey shipped at its natural cask strength. That undiluted proof preserves heavier aromatics, allowing you to control water addition during tasting to reveal underlying layers of toasted barley, cinnamon bark, and honeyed malt.

The Ballechin label references the original wooden mash tuns once central to Edradour’s operation, signaling a focus on straightforward, unadjusted Scotch character. This expression is built for collectors and everyday drinkers who prefer authentic cooperage influence over mass-market uniformity. Store the bottle upright at stable room temperature away from direct light, and pair with dry aged cheeses, dark chocolate, or lightly spiced dishes to complement the natural sweetness.
