Single Malt Whisky, Scotland / Highlands
This Edradour was aged for 12 years in Barbaresco wine casks before being bottled at its natural strength. With its beautiful copper color, this single malt has a round, fruity profile in which the influence of wine (red fruit and white pepper) blends brilliantly with the fruity, cereal notes typical of this distillery.
The Edradour distillery is renowned above all for the singular style of its single malt, which is exported all over the world. Andrew Symington, the distillery’s owner, has embarked on a series of specific refinements, each more original than the last (Burgundy, Chardonnay, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Madeira, Moscatel, Port, Sassicaia, Tokaji, etc.), enabling the distillery to renew its style.
TASTING NOTES
Nose : Spicy and fruity. The nose opens with notes of prune, sultana and cherry clafouti, before moving on to aromas of spice and undergrowth and finally notes of toffee.
Appearance : Copper
Palate : Silky and spicy. The attack opens with flavours of very ripe fruit, morello cherries and hazelnuts. The malt reveals itself to be smooth and silky, with a pastry-like flavor.
Overall : Creamy and fragrant. The finish is marked by a pastry register where cocoa, hazelnuts and raisins intertwine. The length in the mouth is striking, the nutmeg remains present.
