First released in summer 2014, the Ballechin 10 year old heavily peated is the first ongoing release for Edradour's peated malt, after eight releases in The Discovery series.
Ballechin is the heavily peated distillation we have been making at Edradour Distillery since 2003. Distilled using barley which has been infused with peat to a level not less than 50ppm.
This bottling is predominantly from ex Bourbon casks with a generous top dressing of ex Oloroso Sherry casks, to create added depth and greater complexity. It has been bottled at 46%, without chillfiltration, to retain the true cask character.
The name Ballechin originates from a fellow Perthshire farm distillery, which sadly closed its doors in 1927. There, Alfred Barnard, who catalogued all the distilleries in the UK in the 1880’s, made reference to having experienced a peated whisky.

Edradour is location in the picturesque town of Pitlochry in the Southern Highlands. In 2002 the distillery was bought by Andrew Symington from Signatory Vintage Ltd who had great ideas for the site. He has successfully created a brand in Edradour which now possesses an enthusiastic loyal fan base. During the period since the purchase by Andrew Symington, the brand had done so well that 2018 a new, second distillery was formally planned housing two stills. New warehouses have been built to accommodate the increased production. The introduction of a variety of cask maturations began with Andrew Symington's acquisition of the distillery and the product range reflects this. The core offering consists of the 10 and 12 year old Caledonia Selection. This range is a marriage of both first fill and second fill Oloroso casks. Also within the core range are various cask strength sherry and bourbon releases. Not forgetting the peated Ballechin 10 year old. In 2022 there were two releases in the Straight From The Cask range which were 10 year old, sherry butt and a 12 year old Ballechin.
