Everyday you get to find and taste a Ballechin, it is a good day. The reason for that statement is that Ballechin is actually a heavily peated Edradour, which in my books it is the best thing it can ever happen to someone. Well, imagine a Cask Strength limited one. This is the case. A 14yo expression, bottled at Cask Strength, 58.8%abv, with a lovely chesnut reddish color, this one was a exclusive for the popular online whisky retailers, The Whisky Exchange. On the nose, it starts with rubber, actually it took me to my childhood, where i had this "He-Man" action figures, with the rubber heads; this is exactly the aroma i get first. Wood polisher, camphor, a leather wallet. Povidyn and Iodine. Muscular liniment and burnt rubber. Red chilli and creolin. Amazing, crazy aroma. On the palate, it is incredibly sweet, that was so unexpected!. Pure chocolate, hazelnut, almonds and a pair of cotton socks. Again the povidyn note. Aftertaste starts with a pepper bomb. Chilli, wasabi and Tabasco sauce. Then, completely out of nowhere, the most amazing blackberry note ever. Overall, this is a super pleasant rollercoaster. It is amazing how a 58.8%abv dram can be so easy drinkable when it is so well delivered. The sweetness and the peatiness are exactly what you expect when you say "This is a Heavily Peated Edradour". Very nice whisky, it could be a little more complex though. My score for it is 89 over 100.
