Description

An official release of Edradour, a 12 year old, from 2009, cask 397, at 57.1%, 653 bottles in all. Edradour is a small batch Highland malt, owned by the independent bottler Signatory Vintage. Its tiny copper stills and worm tubs give a rich, oily, full bodied spirit.

Drawn off the tiny stills and cooled in worm tubs for an oily make, for the rich, oily make Edradour is known for. Finished in an Oloroso cask, the wood building over the oily, full bodied spirit. In integration lactones (coconut) and vanillin (vanilla) knit with the malt, the nutty chocolate deepening. The cool Highland air of the glen gives a slow, even maturation in the small Edradour warehouses. It was bought in 2002 by Andrew Symington of the independent bottler Signatory Vintage. It once supplied blends such as House of Lords and King's Ransom. It was founded in 1825, growing out of an old farmers' cooperative in the glen above Pitlochry.

At a natural 57.1% it is full and oily. Baked apple, marzipan and a creamy malt, with dried fruit, fig and walnut from the cask. Soft chocolate and a nutty oil sit behind the cask. The finish runs long, nutty and warming. This is Edradour, one of Scotland's smallest distilleries.
