The Signatory Vintage BALLECHIN 17 Years Old Cask Strength 1st Fill Virgin Oak #245 2008 61.1% Vol. 0.7 l in a tin box is a powerful and intensely peaty Highland single malt Scotch whisky that combines the characteristic peaty notes of the Ballechin range with the distinctive influence of fresh oak. Bottled by the renowned independent bottler Signatory Vintage, this exclusive single cask release is aimed at connoisseurs of complex and characterful cask-strength whiskies. The heavily peated Ballechin Linie originates from the historic Edradour Distillery and combines classic Highland notes with a robust smoky profile.

This exceptional single malt whisky was distilled in 2008 and matured for a full 17 years. Maturation in 1st-fill virgin oak cask #245 imparts particularly intense woody, spicy and toasty aromas, which blend harmoniously with the typical Ballechin peat. Fresh oak casks lend the whisky additional depth, creamy vanilla notes and a distinctive spiciness. At an impressive 61.1% ABV, this limited edition bottling is exceptionally powerful, complex and unadulterated. The high-quality tin box emphasises the exclusive character of this rare single cask whisky.
