It was run through the small stills with their boil ball purifiers, for the rich, oily make Edradour is known for. Maturation came in an Oloroso cask, layered over the rich Edradour make. By the integrating teens congeners fade and esters build, the rich, oily spirit growing creamier. The tiny stills and worm tubs give an oily spirit that takes the cask well.

At cask strength 58.8% it is big and oily. Baked apple, marzipan and a creamy malt, with dried fruit, fig and walnut from the cask. Beneath it run dried fruit, chocolate and a soft oil. Dried fruit, chocolate and a soft oak see out a long finish. This is a rich, oily Highland single malt.
