Ballechin 2010 / 5 Year Old /Peaty Artist #9 / Batch 2 / SIG for LMDW Highland Whisky

70cl / 57.9% / Signatory – A 2010 Ballechin single malt from French indie bottler La Maison du Whisky, matured in a single first-fill bourbon cask and bottled as part of the ninth-edition of its Artist series. Over a layer of rich peat smoke it has aromas of cut hay, mint, camphor, sea salt, coconut milk and vanilla on the nose, developing into rosemary, sage and soot. The palate offers notes of orange zest, vanilla, liquorice, aromatic peat, dark chocolate, pears and Mirabelle plums.
