The distillery says - "Eager to experiment with The Balvenie profile using what he had learnt from a recent trip to Islay, distillery manager Ian Millar ordered a batch of Speyside peat for the kiln. For a week a year, The Balvenie distills a batch of peated malt, resulting in a whisky rich in honey, vanilla and citrus notes with an extra layer of delicate smokiness.

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.

The distillery say - "The Glenturret Peated Edition exclusively combines both our unpeated style of Glenturret spirit with our heavily peated style of spirit known as Ruadh Maor. This expression delivers definitive smoke and light spice aromas before developing into an array of maturing fruit and smouldering peat flavours on the palate. This edition is crafted in small batches at Scotland's Oldest Working Distillery with less than 60 casks hand selected to create this unique dram per batch. This exclusive bottling sublimely incorporates smokey and sweet together in a rare addition to our Glenturret range of Scotch whiskies."

Valknut means 'knot of those slain in battle' and is a symbol of three interlinked triangles. According to legend those Vikings who had met a fine and honourable death were marked out by the symbol of the Valknut and spirited away from the mortal world to the heavenly realm of Valhalla. Here they joined Odin's mighty army to prepare for Ragnarok, the battle of the end of the world.
Highland Park's Tasting Note:
As the aroma of toasted vanilla pods advances, there's a distinctive hint of cracked black pepper in the background and just a murmuring of fresh oak shavings, before sweetly aromatic cloves join forces with tangy hints of aniseed. Intensely balanced, bold and courageous, Valknut leaves a lingering memory of peat smoke and sweet spices in its final moments.

Bowmore 12 is a medium peated malt - less than some of its Islay cousins. It also has an appealing floral side as well.
Bowmore 12 is a medium peated malt - less than some of its Islay cousins. It also has an appealing floral side as well.
The Bowmore 15 is from whisky matured in Bourbon casks which then has a further maturation in sherry casks. The distillery says it is an exquisite sherry cask finish that develops layers of rich, peat smoked complexity at 15 Years Old.
Caol Ila - Soft as the light of day, Caol Ila Moch opens on the palate to reveal all the life and fresh-faced new hope of a spring day, clearly reflecting the character of Caol Ila first seen in 1846. Here are scrubbed-clean aromas and smoky-dry notes of peat followed through on the palate by sweet, then salty, clarity and simplicity in what is a smooth, fresh expression of the classic "bonfire on the beach" taste of Caol Ila.
