It’s packed with pure, intense fruit, supported by finely grained tannins and a subtle nudge of oak that adds polish without overpowering. Dark maroon in colour with violet tones, the nose is clear and inviting with aromas of blackberries, black cherries, fresh plum and a touch of vanilla and roasted spice. On the palate, this Ribera del Duero red wine is broad and generous, with ripe black fruit flavours, integrated tannins and gentle toasted notes from barrel ageing.

Soft spice and rich peat lead the nose, intense and a little vanilla-sweet underneath. On the palate the peat smoke takes charge: black pepper alongside it so you know this a solid, no-nonsense pour. The finish is where it really expresses itself: intense and spicy, with a sweet, creamy, malty backbone building to a crescendo of  log-fire smokey depth. Bottled at 50%, this is a straightforward, honestly peaty dram.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing suggestions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeat, to get the full peat and pepper hit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA splash of water if the smoke feels too intense on first pour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood for peat fans looking for something other than Islay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eKate Says\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Old Ballantruan is Tomintoul's peated side and this was the first Old Ballantruan bottled with an age statement, which tells you they were confident enough in it to put a number on the label.

Old Ballantruan is its peated line, made using heavily peated barley, a deliberate change of direction from the distillery's usual output. It takes its name from an exceptional source of the purest of waters, the Ballantruan spring, nestled in the Cromdale Hills close to Tomintoul, the highest village in the Highlands of Scotland. The peat is sourced locally to the Speyside region and when burnt infuses their barley with true Speyside elements such as heather and ancient mossy-grass giving Old Ballantruan its distinct smoky, log fire flavours that can be picked up so unmistakably on the nose and palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it's made:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBase ingredient: Heavily peated malted barley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistilled at Tomintoul Distillery, Speyside\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAged for a minimum of 10 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCask type: American Oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGood to know:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speyside, Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heavily peated single malt Scotch whisky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cork Stopper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVegan:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge statement:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 Years Old\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy we love it:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA heavily peated Speyside single malt whisky that catches people off guard in the best way: real smoke from a region that rarely goes near it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Old Ballantruan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57816606376318,"sku":"SK-02643","price":63.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0950\/5962\/files\/OldBallantruan_10YOSingleMaltbox.jpg?v=1786106888"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.reservewines.co.uk\/collections\/new.oembed","provider":"Reserve Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
