Ballechin Straight From The Cask - Oloroso Sherry Cask #201 Whisky 10 Year Old · 2010 Vintage

Colour

Dark amber with mahogany hues and a coppery glow, a rich wine-dark sheen suggesting Oloroso sherry and deep maturation.

Nose

Ripe smokiness folds into a lush oloroso sherry bouquet: dried fig and raisin, orange zest, and treacle-like sweetness. Peat notes thread through dark chocolate, toasted nuts, and leather, while a velvety vanilla-spice lift hints at grandeur behind the robust, unchillfiltered heft.

Palate

Full-bodied and intensely peated, this Ballechin coats the palate with smoke, dark fruit and rich oloroso sweetness. Prune, toffee and cocoa ride a velvety warmth, while peppery spice and high ABV sharpen the finish. A long, resinous finale lingers with fading sherry, smoke and oak.

Finish

An exceptionally long, warming finish where peaty smoke entwines with rich Oloroso sweetness — dried fig and raisin fruit, dark chocolate, and toasted oak. The peat persists into a velvet, spicy warmth, leaving a lasting ember of smoke and sherry.
