Another one in our lineup from last night’s tasting at @Richard-ModernDrinking ‘s. This is a 12 yr heavily peated fully port cask matured Highlander by Edradour’s Ballechin line. Generally, my opinion is you can’t go wrong with peat + port. Something about smoky and fruity.
This here is no exception. Coming in the middle of the ranks in yesterday’s tasting, it showed tastes of smoky berries, grilled meats. It’s strong. At cask strength, it comes at you quite like a freight train. I honestly had to add an equal amount of water just to be able to take it. What’s surprised me was that this was more forceful than the Octomore despite the Octomore’s 2 less years, more ABV, and more ppm
. @LeeEvolved you’re a fan if peat + port as well I think—-this might be right up your alley

@Richard-ModernDrinking @ PBMichiganWolverine The Bordeaux one I had was the best Ed one yet.. managed a 3.75.. this one looks like it tops it so will have to look out for it
@Soba45 This one is really good
@Soba45 totally agree—-they’re all over the place. But I thought they did a bang up job on this. Simply well made
Good to see a well rated Edradour, usually they are quite disjointed.
