Tasting
How it drinks
- Sight
- Pale straw gold; very light colour from bourbon cask, peated spirit appears almost water-white
- Nose
- Pure peat and vanilla — campfire, smoked barley, vanilla cream, lemon zest, green apple, maritime salt. Without sherry masking, raw peated spirit fully exposed. Clean, bright, intensely smoky
- Palate
- Full-bodied despite pale colour. Intense peat smoke, vanilla, lemon, green apple, smoked fish, honey, creamy malt. Bourbon cask lets peat speak — Ballechin in purest form. Maritime and ashy
- Finish
- Long finish dominated by clean peat smoke. Vanilla and lemon fade, ash and maritime salt persist. Surprisingly clean and refreshing despite power
