Old Ballantruan Whisky

Old Ballantruan Whisky is a robust and superb peated single malt, uniquely produced at the Speyside-based Tomintoul distillery using heavily peated barley, distinguishing it from most Speyside expressions. Bottled at a punchy 50% ABV, this expression offers exceptional depth and intensity for peat enthusiasts. On the nose, it delivers soft spices intertwined with a rich note of peat. The palate presents a simple yet balanced delivery, focusing on intense peat smoke and a noticeable kick of black pepper. The experience culminates in an intense and spicy finish, marked by a powerful crescendo of warming wood smoke and tar. This complex, high-strength malt is highly regarded for those seeking a profound, smoky whisky experience with Speyside elegance.
