BALLECHIN (1825 also see The Edradour
is the registered brand name used for the heavily peated distillation produced at Edradour, Scotland's smallest Distillery.
In times long gone, Edradour was one of seven farm distilleries operating in Perthshire. Today, sadly, it is the only one remaining. Ballechin was another of the original farm distilleries and operated between 1810 and 1927. It was a tribute to the efforts of these pionering farmers that we have resurrected the name Ballechin.
Since acquiring Edradour distillery in 2002, I have pursued an extensive programma
of experimentation. Several heavily peated distillations have been produced, initially
on a very limited scale, and these are being matured in a wide range of wood types.
The phenol content of the malt used in production is not less than 50 parts per million.
The Burgundy matured is our first release of Ballechin, and has been matured solely in first fill Burgundy casks. There were a total of 6.000 bottles produced - (5100 * 70 cl + (900 * 750 ml).
Over the next 5-7 years we will be releasing further 'progress reports' on Balllechin's development, featuring the other wood types, so that the whisky enthusiast can take part in our journey of establishing another truly formidable single malt whisky, born out of passion and the pursuit of quality.
Enjoy the journey... Andrew Symington, September 2006.
