Edradour

Distilled at the Edradour distillery from heavily peated barley, this single sherry cask is a striking and heavy whisky, bringing heady notes of fresh espresso coffee, leather and black forrest fruit aromas. Roasted, toasted and nutty aromas give way to a dense peat smoke with earthy farmyard aromas and freshly varnished wood. The palate carries over with a dense mouthfeel that is surprisingly soft given the high strength, offering a dry and intense dark chocolate / espresso finish. The peat smoke of Edradour's Ballechin is wonderfully funky, and the combination of sherry and smoke here is quite exceptional.

The Edradour distillery calls this new bottling a Cuvee, a marriage of the unpeated Edradour and heavily peated Ballechin. Filled from a single sherry cask combined with 3 ex-bourbon casks of the peated spirit, this dram brings together flavours of rich dried fruit and sooty smoke. The nose is scented with peat smoke and dark, slightly burnt toffee and a note of cooked cherries (cherry pie). The palate is big and rounded, bringing together the fruit and smoke, lingering on smoky, drying, oaky finish.

Ballechin is the name Edradour gives its heavily peated spirit, and this release is their new standard expression bottled after 10 years of maturation. The peat character of this is remarkably Islay-like, with a rich earthy smoke, ginger spice, and amazingly even a hint of coastal, farmyard aromas. A standout example of the non-Islay peated style.

A 1999 Edradour single malt that was initially matured in ex-bourbon hogsheads for a full 13 years then make it's way to being recasked into a pair of bold Bordeaux hogsheads. Fragrant aromas of barley sugars, freshly squeezed oranges and a jar of jelly beans fill the nose, complemented by notes of honey cornflakes, candied orange peel, Fry's chocolate Turkish Delight, a hint of white pepper and barley sugars spark character throughout the palate. A bold finish lingers on the tounge.

Selected by Scottish musician Dougie MacLean, in conjunction with Andrew Symington at Edradour Distillery, this 12 year old Edradour carries rich notes of Oloroso sherry casks (dried fruit), peppermint chocolate creme and a hint of sulphur from the casks. A deeper and more robust expression of the distillery style.

Aged for 10 years in first-fill sherry casks, this Edradour offers the distinctive flavour of dense, moist Christmas cake laden with currants, raisins and glace fruits. The palate carries a thick, bitter-chocolate sauce tone, with tangy plum joining in, finishing earthy and heavily spiced.

Located in the heart of the Highlands of Scotland, Edradour is one of the smallest, yet most visited distilleries in the country. The Edradour 10 is bursting with aromas of fresh vanilla pod and a hint of sulphur, creme caramel, and the palate carries bitter almonds, pepperment chocolates and a dry vanilla'd finish.
