Description

Edradour from the distillery, a 10 year old, from 2015, at 46%. Edradour is a Highland single malt distilled in a pocket glen near Pitlochry since 1825. It once supplied blends such as House of Lords and King's Ransom.

Made in the smallest of stills and condensed in worm tubs, for the rich, oily make Edradour is known for. Maturation came in a Pedro Ximenez cask, layered over the rich Edradour make. Integration folds eugenol (clove) and vanillin (vanilla) into the oily malt, the body fuller and creamier. A gentle maturation suits the oily make, the nutty richness growing with time. A 2018 expansion added a second still house, the production still small and traditional. For years its sign read Scotland's smallest distillery; it now calls itself Scotland's little gem. Years in oak round the spirit, the dried fruit and chocolate deepening over the oily core. Signatory's wide cask range gives the small distillery an unusual variety of finishes.

At 46% it is creamy and full. A full, fruity sweetness, with raisin, date and treacle from the cask. Fig, nut and a creamy malt fill the middle. A long, nutty finish carries dried fruit and a soft spice. This is a rich, oily Highland single malt.
