Nose：Sweet honey blends with smoky notes of peat and iodine followed by dried fruit and a mix of nuts.
Taste：Opening flavours or subtle smoke and oak spices are complemented by the sweetness of barley sugar and exotic fruits. Then the richness of pomegranate and warm, caramel, with a hint of leather.
This Ballechin 18-year-old Cask Strength Batch 001 was bottled in April 2023 and represents the oldest core range cask strength official bottling of Edradour's heavily peated spirit.
Ballechin accounts for just 5% of Edradour's production, with only around 40-50 casks a year currently being filled, so it's a testament to owner Andrew Symington's careful cask husbandry that there's enough stock to make a batch of 18-year-old.
Ballechin 18-year-old Cask Strength Batch 001 has been bottled without colouring or chill filtration and weighs in at a promising 50.9% cask strength - hopefully this is the first of many cask strength aged Ballechins to come.
艾德多爾 Edradour
艾德多爾一直都堅持只使用祖先所承傳下來的技術來蒸餾，就連用人的規矩也遵循過去的傳統，只維持「三人行」，每代都是三人一組一起烘麥、蒸餾、裝桶，每年30000公升的產量由三人來完成，一直到現在他們仍堅持只生產最精緻的單一麥芽威士忌，每一桶艾德多爾都是酒廠精心手工蒸餾的，就如同黃金一般，滴滴珍貴。
艾德多爾酒廠深藏於蘇格蘭高地南部山坡內的峽谷中，它是蘇格蘭內最精緻的威士忌蒸餾廠，同時也是最小的蒸餾廠。產量非常稀少，一個星期僅生產約12個橡木桶的數量，整年的總產量甚至比不上一般酒廠一個星期的蒸餾量。因此每年只有少數幾桶能夠供應到市面上，艾德多爾的單一麥芽威士忌極其珍貴，是不可錯過的稀釀珍藏。
