The distillery is located a few miles west of Pitlochry at Moulin and belongs to the whisky region of the Highlands. It was probably founded in 1825 and is the only Scottish distillery that is still completely preserved in the style of farmhouse operations. At the same time, it was the smallest distillery in Scotland for a long time. The two stills produced just 15 barrels a week. Today’s production capacity is around 500,000 litres of pure alcohol per year, following the commissioning of an extension to the distillery in February 2018. Since the original Ballechin distillery no longer exists, the peated variant of Edradour is offered under this name.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The new standard is a delightful combination of strong peat smoke and a lovely sherry character. Ballechin 15 y. o. is a vatting made of a strongly smoky spirit that matured in first fill bourbon barrels and second fill oloroso sherry butts. Batch 1 was bottled in 3,126 bottles exclusively for the German market and, at 15 years old, is still one of the brand’s oldest bottlings. Sweet smoke and dark fruit flavors can be found at 59.4% vol. Cask strength and the absence of cooling filtration show in all their glory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":62636,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[2258,2374,2504,10302,8336,10242,2204,2276,2170],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-62700","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-distilleries-en","product_cat-edradour-en","product_cat-highlands-en","product_cat-monthlyoffers","product_cat-offers","product_cat-regions","product_cat-scotland-en","product_cat-single-malt-en","product_cat-whisky-en","pa_bottling_date-keine-angabe-en-2","pa_cask_type-bourbon-en","pa_cask_type-olorososherry-en","pa_country-schottland-en-2","pa_destillation_age-15-en","pa_destillation_date-keine-angabe-en-2","pa_region-highlands-en","pa_whisky_bottler-destillen-original-abfuellung-en","pa_whisky_bottler_series-keine-angabe-en-2","first","instock","sale","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"yoast_head":"\n
