Ballechin is produced at the Edradour distillery. 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.
Ballechin was first produced in 2003 using heavily peated barley which has a peated level of no less than 50ppm
Part of the Straight From The Cask range. This bottling was aged for 13 years in a single Burgundy wine cask. Distilled on the 19th of January 2004 and bottled on the 3rd March 2017 from cask number 12. Only 404 bottles were produced worldwide.
