"Unpeated - a fascinating exploration of the influence of terroir on artisanal single malt whisky" 
The Classic Laddie is made using 100% Scottish-grown barley, trickle distilled, then matured for its entire life by the salt-swept Atlantic shores of Loch Indaal in premium American and French Oak.
Uniquely waxy character, with sweetness to taste, brown sugar and a hint of floral notes on the nose.
What The WSD thinks: Wood chippings and cracked pepper with hints of lanolin and banana flavoured chewy sweets. Very much initially icing sugar sweet before tropical fruit concentrate comes bowling in.
According to the distillery the name Ballechin originates from a fellow Perthshire farm distillery, which sadly closed in 1927. There, Alfred Barnard, who catalogued all the distilleries in the UK in the 1880's, made reference to having experienced a peated whisky. This bottling is predominantly from ex-bourbon casks with a generous top dressing of ex-Oloroso sherry casks to create added depth and greater complexity.
This Glenfarclas 10 Years Old has natural colour - tempting sherry sweet, malty tones and delicately light hints of dried fruit. Long, smooth and spicy.
Glenfarclas 105 is dry and assertive, with a rich spiciness that combines with hints of oak and sherried fruit to create a perfect warming dram. In short, all the great flavours of Glenfarclas in one glass.
George Grant thinks this is "An excellent introduction to the distillery style. Glenfarclas means Glen of the Green Grassland, and the freshness on the nose reminds me of grassland in spring. So, for me, this is the Glenfarclas aroma. In 2006 this was named the Best Sherried Whisky in the Single Malt World Cup. More recently Glenfarclas 12 Years Old won Gold at the Stockholm Beer & Whisky Festival in 2007 and again in 2008".
The Glenfarclas 15 Years Old is more complex than the younger whiskies. Lots of body, superb balance of sherry and malt. Long lasting and a distinguished finish.
This is not just a bottle of 21 Years Old Highland malt. It is the result of over 170 years of tradition and experience - of secrets carried and nurtured through six generations of family.
The distillery say 'this is the taste of distilling slower than anyone else in Scotland, of barley we dry by air - never peat - and of hand selected sherry casks from European and American oak.'
