Edradour 10 Year The Distillery Edition

This needs time to breath. Aroma doesn’t change much, being rather earthy and grassy, with a backchannel of dried dark fruits. Palate changes a lot. First sip was lightly sweet apples and artificial honey backed by ethanol, with no middle and an abrupt close that was dry acetone. After 10 minutes in the glass, the ethanol is much reduced, the honey is deeper, and I can find golden raisin in the middle before a quick close that is now acceptably astringent instead of acetone harsh. Probably not a repeat, but I’m happy to have found and tried it.
