Ballechin 2009 Double Malt – Double Cask

Remarks:
for its age I find the malt to be quite complex and round. Very tasty and the smoke is well integrated and not intrusive.

Overall I rate this Whisky 89/100 points

• Nose: 89/100 points
  Smoke and lots of sherry aromas, dark and dried fruits, some pepper, spicy, some plums. Despite “only” 46% alcohol is quite present.
  
  
• Taste: 89/100 points
  lots of sherry aromas, dark fruits, a bit spicy and yet slightly sweet, malty in the background, oak comes, slightly bitter
  
  
• Finish: 89/100 points
  Spicy finish with light oak notes, a bit bitter and slightly dark fruits in the background, medium-long.
