The Signatory Vintage BALLECHIN 12 Years Old Cask Strength 1st Fill Grand Marnier #201 2013 58.8% 0.7 l in a tin box is an intense and exceptional Highland single malt Scotch whisky that combines the distinctive smokiness of Ballechin with a rare and exciting cask finish. Bottled by the renowned independent bottler Signatory Vintage, this exclusive edition is aimed at connoisseurs of characterful and unusually matured cask strength whiskies. The heavily peated Ballechin Linie originates from the historic Edradour Distillery and is renowned for its powerful Islay-like smoky aromas combined with classic Highland character.

Distilled in 2013 and finished after 12 years of maturation in a first-fill Grand Marnier cask, this single malt whisky develops an extraordinary blend of intense peaty smokiness, fruity aromas and sweet spice. Maturation in a former Grand Marnier cask brings elegant orange and liqueur notes to the whisky and complements the powerful smoky structure in an exciting way. Bottled at natural cask strength of a robust 58.8%, this cask strength whisky offers a particularly intense and authentic tasting experience. The high-quality tin box emphasises the collector’s appeal of this limited-edition Signatory bottling.
