Description
A 10 year old Edradour from the Dutch bottler van Wees, distilled in 2014, from cask 46, bottled at 59.3%, one of 615 bottles. Edradour is a rich Highland malt from the pocket glen at Balnauld, distilled since 1825. It was founded in 1825, growing out of an old farmers' cooperative in the glen above Pitlochry.
Drawn off the tiny stills and cooled in worm tubs for an oily make, the worm tubs lending a weighty, oily character. 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. A small distillery and a hands on approach shape every cask by hand. The cool Highland air of the glen gives a slow, even maturation in the small Edradour warehouses. The worm tubs leave an oily weight that carries through the years in cask.
At its natural 59.3% it is rich and full bodied. Dried fruit, chocolate and a nutty oil, with dried fruit, fig and walnut from the cask. A baked apple and a gentle spice lift it. The finish is rounded, fruity and gently spiced. This is Edradour's full bodied, sherried Highland style.
