Nestled in the hamlet of Badachro, overlooking Badachro Bay and reaching out towards Skye and the Outer Hebrides, Badachro Distillery offers small-batch, artisan whisky, gin and vodka from the Scottish Highlands.
Following an extraordinarily quick sell-out of the first release the follow up releases have proved to be just as popular. There are still slight differences between the two releases, especially as the spirit continues to mature in red wines casks – giving each whisky its unique colour and character.
The distinct flavour of this single malt Scotch is accredited to the two very carefully selected casks in which it was vatted, to produce this lightly peated dram which has been finished in Tuscan red wine casks prior to bottling. With its distinct flavour and beautiful blush hue, we like to think of this malt as a North West Highlander embracing an old Tuscan friend.
This premium single malt Scotch whisky beautifully marries the world of peated and unpeated spirit to produce a characterful and finely balanced expression of the rugged and yet romantic north west Highlands.
