Description

Edradour from the distillery, a 10 year old, from 2011, cask 237, at 57.6%, 914 bottles in all. Edradour is a creamy, sherried Highland single malt from one of the smallest distilleries in Scotland. It is one of the smallest traditional distilleries in Scotland, long run by just two or three hands.

The spirit was worked through Oregon pine washbacks and tiny stills for a rich, oily spirit, giving the full bodied, creamy Highland spirit. 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. Ben Vrackie water and a long ferment give the rich Edradour make. A 2018 expansion added a second still house, the production still small and traditional.

At a hearty 57.6% it carries real weight. A rich, nutty sweetness, with dried fruit, fig and walnut from the cask. Beneath it run dried fruit, chocolate and a soft oil. A long, nutty finish carries dried fruit and a soft spice. This is Edradour's full bodied, sherried Highland style.
