Description

A 17 year old Edradour from the Paris house La Maison du Whisky, distilled in 2003, from cask 926, bottled at 56.6%, one of 674 bottles. Edradour is a small, traditional Highland single malt, owned by Signatory since 2002. It was founded in 1825, growing out of an old farmers' cooperative in the glen above Pitlochry.

The spirit was distilled slowly in the old farm stillhouse on Ben Vrackie water, building the creamy Edradour style. Finished in an Oloroso cask, the wood building over the oily, full bodied spirit. At oxidative maturity aldehydes lend a nutty edge while ellagitannins add a gentle, drying grip over the oily malt. Maturation in the dunnage warehouses at Pitlochry is slow and steady. It is one of the smallest traditional distilleries in Scotland, long run by just two or three hands. Its water comes from the Ben Vrackie springs in the hills above the distillery.

At 56.6%, undiluted, it is deep and concentrated. Dried fruit, nut and a soft chocolate, with dried fruit, fig and walnut from the cask. It is rich and oily, the full bodied spirit shining through. It finishes long, rich and oily. This is Edradour's full bodied, sherried Highland style.
