Edradour 1997 12 Year Old Madeira Cask Finish

Edradour Eilean Dubh "The Dark One"

Edradour is the smallest distillery of Shottland, as far as I know only three people are working there. But those people produce really interesting malts.

Well I have to say I've never tried a Chateauneuf Du Pape finished whisky - whatever next? Trying neat for now.... I get toffee and plums on the nose. Caramel descending into sticky toffee pudding.

Edradour 9 Year Old 2010 The Ultimate Cask #391

The Dutch bottler van Wees released a whole series of single casks of Edradour in 2020, all of them at cask strength. Let’s put these head-to-head. This is a 9 years old from 2010, a single 1st fill sherry butt, at a strength of 58.6%! It has the color of cola! Very intense and deeply sherried nose with all you might expect from a first fill...
