Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes

  • Billy Abbott, The Whisky Exchange

    • Nose

      Leathery smoke shrouds a vanilla sponge cake. Cherry and sultana notes develop, accompanied by a touch of menthol and freshly opened plasters. Green notes – hops, grass and leaves – float through the middle with gravel and a burst of mineral-laden smokiness.

    • Palate

      Soft, sweet and sooty to start, with spice slowly building. Dark mint chocolate chips are joined by pine needles, singed ferns and some aniseed ball heat. The mint chocolate becomes chocolate-covered fondants as earthy notes build.

    • Finish

      Mint imperials and cocoa nibs fade to leave sweet glacé cherries, fresh leather and leafy hints.

    Ian Fullerton,

    What a fabulous dram. I have had various Ballechin whiskys before but this one is the best ever. I strongly advise you to purchase this particular iteration.
