The Edradour Distillery, whose history is as diverse as its range, was once even
owned by the New York mafia. Today it is run by Andrew Symington, the founder of
Signatory Vintage. As an independent Highland distillery, it relies on
traditional production methods and uses equipment from the 19th century to
produce handcrafted premium single malts. Its diverse portfolio includes
whiskies with exceptional cask finishes and bottlings made from malt with a
minimum smoke content of 50 ppm.

The new batch of Ballechin 18 Years Old has been enriched by the combination of
bourbon and sherry casks, bringing additional complexity to the maturation
process. The long maturation allows for a successful fusion of intense peat
smoke and spicy wood notes, which shapes the character of the Highland single
malt. These casks give the whisky a balanced structure that harmonizes the
smoky, woody and fruity elements without overemphasizing individual nuances.
