Edradour / Ballechin Cuvee 2008 8 Year

This item is archived.


Distilled in 2008, this peated Edradour single malt is a marriage of 1 Sherry Butt and 3 Ex-Bourbon Barrels. Bottled at 46% this 8-year-old is a very balanced marriage of Bourbon, Sherry and ashy peat notes.

Andrew's Tasting Note

Nose: balanced notes of ashy peat and sherry provide a welcoming first pass; hickory and mesquite; beef brisket with spicy BBQ sauce and smoked turkey; notes of apple and pear.

Palate: there is a lot going on here; cupcakes with vanilla icing to start while wood ash rains down around you; soft leather, juicy malt and fruity sherry tones; more apple and pear; more mesquite and hickory with spicy BBQ sauce on beef brisket.

Finish: long, coating, ashy and meaty; very balanced and smooth.

Comment: I love the full disclosure of the label, and also the whisky; classic ashy Ballechin, with a balanced palate of Bourbon and Sherry notes.
