Ballechin 10 Year Old Heavily Peated
Ballechin is the Heavily peated version of Edradour single malt. Peated to 50ppm which is quite high, it is matured in ex Amercian oak and oloroso sherry casks. This is the first 10 year old Ballechin since the distillerey first started to make a peated versions back in 2003.
Bunnahabhain Toiteach a Dha Single Malt Whisky
Bunnahabhain Toiteach a Dhà is a smoky, sherried Islay single malt that blends gentle peat with rich fruit and spice, offering a balanced and approachable take on peated whisky. Toiteach a Dhà means “Smoky Two” in Scots Gaelic, marking it as the sequel to Bunnahabhain’s original peated release, Toiteach. Unlike most Islay whiskies, Bunnahabhain typically produces unpeated malts, but this expression introduces a subtle smokiness through peated malted barley. It’s matured in a mix of bourbon and sherry casks, with a higher sherry influence than its predecessor, and bottled at 46.3% ABV with natural colour and no chill filtration. The nose opens with grilled pineapple, kiwi and moist old wood, followed by salt and pepper that hint at its youthful vibrancy. On the palate, it delivers vibrant citrus fruits, licorice root and soft medicinal notes, balanced by orchard fruits and warming spice. The finish is long and smoky, with lingering sherry sweetness and coastal salinity. Toiteach a Dhà is ideal for those exploring peated whisky or seeking a gentler Islay dram with a sherried twist. It captures the essence of Bunnahabhain’s coastal character while offering a unique smoky depth.
