Description
Equilibrium is Whisky Sponge’s ongoing attempt to create whiskies that display a balanced sherry and peat flavour profile. Always featuring the two single malts from Edradour distillery. This second release is composed of a second fill sherry hogshead of 2005 Edradour and a second fill sherry hogshead of 2005 Ballechin, both matured full term for 16 years and bottled with a slight reduction at 55% ABV.

Whisky Sponge comments:
“We think anyone who enjoys peat and sherry together will find plenty to enjoy here. However, as ever, we’d be very keen to hear what you think. Has ‘balance’ been achieved? Do the peat and sherry get along together? Buy a bottle, drink it and insert your opinions into the internet.”

About Edradour Distillery
Edradour distillery (meaning ‘between two rivers’) is a Highland single malt whisky distillery based in Pitlochry, Perthshire. It’s world renowned as the smallest traditional distillery in Scotland and arguably the most unique and attractive. Dating back to 1825, Edradour, stands alone as the last stronghold of handmade single malt whisky from a farm distillery still in production today. Its stills are the smallest in Scotland contributing to the distinctive richness of their malts.

The distillery also produces Ballechin whisky which is a heavily peated version of Edradour matured in a wide variety of wood types. A formidable, smoky Single Malt born out of experimentation, passion and the pursuit of quality with a phenol content of a minimum of 50 parts per million. The name Ballechin originates from a fellow Perthshire farm distillery, which sadly closed its doors in 1927.
