Tasting Notes

Nose: Soft heather honey and vanilla fudge drift alongside fresh pear, with a teasing puff of camp-fire smoke in the background. Palate: Silky layers of crème brûlée, baked apple and sweet barley unfold, accented by a light thread of hearth ember and toasted oak spice. Finish: Medium-long and warming—leaving gentle malt sweetness, a sprinkle of white pepper and a final, elusive curl of smoky Highland air.
Mark a literary milestone with Ballindalloch “The Castle” – Limited Edition. Crafted to celebrate the publication of Sunday Times best-seller John Sutherland’s new novel The Castle, this Speyside single malt marries Ballindalloch’s elegant house style with a whisper of smoke. The whisky is drawn from a careful fusion of ex-Bourbon barrels and rare ex-Peated casks, giving the distillery’s lush, honeyed spirit its first-ever hint of gentle peat. Bottled at 46 % ABV, unchill-filtered and natural in colour, just 2,400 bottles were released—inviting readers and whisky lovers alike to savour a dram steeped in story.

*UK orders only will receive a free copy of 'The Castle' book by John Sutherland, while stocks last*

Why We Think You’ll Love It:

  • First Ballindalloch to feature a touch of peat, thanks to its finish in ex-Peated casks married with classic ex-Bourbon wood.

  • Limited to 2,400 bottles, making it a collectable tribute to both Speyside craftsmanship and literary acclaim.

  • Bottled at 46 % ABV, non-chill-filtered and natural colour to preserve full texture, aroma and flavour.

  • A perfect dram for readers seeking a sensory companion to John Sutherland’s latest novel—or for Speyside fans curious about Ballindalloch’s nuanced take on smoke.

Raise a glass to storytelling and innovation with Ballindalloch “The Castle”—where refined Speyside sweetness meets a subtle smoky twist, creating a whisky as compelling as the tale that inspired it.
