Ballechin 2009 11 Year (The Ultimate)

r/scotch selection. Just killed the bottle... Sweet peat, pear, caramel on the nose. Peat, bbq palate, fruity, earthy, a little hot. Finish a little dry and bitter, with some dark fruits in the background. Has some interesting flavors that make me want to keep coming back to it, but definitely benefits from a few drops of water.

Nose - spice, earth, caramel Palate - hard peat and the classic robust flavors of edroudar Finish - the harsh start tapers off but leaves an impression! Overall - definitely an experience - tasty with upfront harsh peat - never thought I’d say too much for me

r/scotch cask selection Nose: pears, figs, apples Palate: fruity caramel spice Finish: ashy smoke Rich and lots of layers. Goes down easy despite being cask strength.
