{"product_id":"ballechin-10-y-o","title":"Ballechin 10 y.o.","description":"\u003cp\u003eBallechin is an intensely peated single malt whisky that has been produced at the traditional Edradour Distillery since 2003. It is crafted using barley that has been peat-dried over a kiln to at least 50 ppm, which gives it its characteristically smoky flavor. This particular bottling was matured predominantly in ex-bourbon casks, supplemented by a generous portion of Oloroso sherry casks. The result is a multi-layered whisky with great depth and a complex interplay of aromas. It was bottled at 46% ABV, naturally without chill filtration – entirely in the spirit of an authentic cask character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name Ballechin traces back to a former farm distillery in Perthshire that closed its doors in 1927. The renowned whisky expert Alfred Barnard, who documented every distillery in the United Kingdom in the 1880s, reported even then on a heavily peated whisky from that very distillery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eNose\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eSweet smoke, grassy, herbal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePalate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003ePeat, chocolate, oak, earthy, smoky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eFinish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003ePeaty with intense notes of heather\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eAbout Edradour\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe Edradour distillery from Pitlochry in the Southern Highlands long held the title of \"the smallest distillery in Scotland,\" which it only had to relinquish in the early 2000s to the wave of new distilleries.\u003cbr\u003eFounded in 1825, it changed owners a few times until it fell into the hands of Andrew Symington of Signatory Vintage – one of the oldest and best-known independent bottlers – in 2002. With an annual production capacity of 260,000 liters of alcohol per year, it is clearly in the bottom quartile (by comparison, Glenlivet has a production capacity of 21,000,000 liters of alcohol per year), with about 1\/5 of this used for the heavily peated single malts under the Ballechin name.\u003cbr\u003eEdradour produces single malts with a heavy, fruity body, which are stored largely in ex-sherry or wine casks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Edradour","offers":[{"title":"0.7 L","offer_id":54886105252173,"sku":"730035","price":78.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.05 L","offer_id":54886105284941,"sku":"748975","price":11.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.2 L","offer_id":54886105317709,"sku":"730677","price":28.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/2822\/0749\/files\/730035.jpg?v=1790587633","url":"https:\/\/schoenbichler.at\/en\/products\/ballechin-10-y-o","provider":"Theehandlung Schönbichler","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
