About

Scotland's smallest traditional distillery for over a century, producing just 12 casks per week. Nestled in a hidden glen above the town of Pitlochry, it resembles a whitewashed farm more than a distillery. The tiny stills (the smallest permitted by HMRC) produce a rich, creamy, full-bodied spirit. Acquired by independent bottler Signatory in 2002. Also produces the heavily peated Ballechin range. A visit feels like stepping back to how all Scottish distilleries once operated.

Ballechin 10 Year OldCore

1046% ABV50 PPM$55-75

Ex-bourbon and ex-oloroso sherry casks

4/4 Tasting

View tasting notes

Sight

Pale gold with straw highlights; lighter than Edradour unpeated, clear and bright

Smell

Peat smoke upfront — campfire, barbecue, smoked meat — quickly joined by sweet malt, honey, vanilla, orchard fruit. Peat is muscular (50ppm) but Highland spirit sweetness balances. Hints of iodine and seaweed suggest more coastal character than expected

Sip

Medium-full body. Smoky and sweet — campfire smoke, barbecued meat, honey, vanilla, apple, maritime salinity. Peat is powerful but never acrid. Underlying toffee and malt sweetness prevents monolithic smoke. Unique Highland peated character distinct from Islay

Savor

Long smoky finish. Peat smoke, barbecue, and ash linger. Honey and vanilla cream provide sweet counterpoint. Warming rather than medicinal. Clean peat smoke fades slowly
