Description

Nestled deep in the beautiful Spey valley, Ballindalloch has been the home of the Macpherson-Grant family since 1546. This limited edition single malt Scotch whisky, 'The Castle', is a collaboration with Sunday Times best-selling author John Sutherland, released alongside his novel of the same name. It is Ballindalloch Distillery's first lightly peated expression, crafted from a combination of Bourbon and ex-peated spirit casks, and bottled at 50% ABV. It is non-chill filtered and natural in colour, showcasing Ballindalloch's elegant house style with an unexpected hint of smoke. This release is limited to 2,400 bottles worldwide.

Nose
Honeyed malt, orchard fruits, and vanilla, with a delicate wisp of smoke in the background. Gentle wisps of peat smoke add depth without overpowering, complemented by notes of toasted oak, lemon zest and warm pastry.
Palate
Creamy caramel and toasted oak, with subtle peat emerging alongside hints of spice and citrus. Smooth, rounded and beautifully balanced, with creamy vanilla, pear and baked apple, sweet malt, light citrus and a touch of salted caramel.
Finish
Long and warming, with lingering sweetness and a gentle smoky fade. Elegant and lightly smoky, with notes of honeycomb, vanilla cream, soft spice, toasted oak and a final hint of warm embers.
