    In general I am never such a fan of peated whiskys from the highlands or the Speyside. This Ballechin in a very big exception. What a creation!
    • Nose
      90 90
      A nicely balanced nose. The alcohol is nicely bound and the sherry does not dominate at all. A spicy and sweet nose.
    • Taste
      92 92
      The taste is also very balanced. Sweet, slightly spicy, chocolate and salmiak. The sherry is subtly present.
    • Finish
      91 91
      A very long finish. Sweet and spicy, slightly smoky. A candy

    Vagueness in the nose accurately helps, but testing only with water, without it could not

  7. glenenz scored this whisky 90 points Expert Senior

    This whisky reminds me of the Laphroaig cask strength of the Ultimate some years ago. It`s 2nd fill sherry cask and the balance is amazingly good. Not to much sherry influence but just enough to lift this whisky to 89 points. 1 extra point for price / quality ratio.
    • Nose
      sweet, balanced soft and spicey. Not the sherrybomb you would expect.
    • Taste
      Despite the high abv is soft and quite round. Light ginger, soft spices. perfecly balanced.
    • Finish
      Quite long and leaves you with a smile on your face. Love it...!!!
