Edradour 10 Year The Distillery Edition

Bought this bottle for $36 at a cool store in MI. My brother-in-law and I loved it, tried to go back and buy some more but they were all gone. N - big sherry bomb nose, rich and dark, plums and a hint of walnuts, some spice P - medium to thick body, rich and spicy, some dry tannins but it adds balance F - dark fruit flavors linger, fall off into some dry spice, medium burn

Edradour is one of my favorite distilleries. They have a nice spirit profile, that works incredibly good with sherry casks; and that is why you always expect a beautifully crafted whisky, made in very small batches, since this is the smallest distillery in Scotland. As you pour this whisky in a Glencairn, you find an appealing red color, full of sweet flavors and aromas. Bottled at 40%abv, Chesnut Color. On the nose, a good mixture between a sherry influence and a nice distillery profile. Almomds, Christmas cake, Candied fruits; Sherried and Winey. Light lemon. After a first sip, it revealed glazed pork, cherries and vanilla. On the palate, it has the edradour DNA all over it. Red wine, red fruits, Bbq sauce and Maraschino Cherry syrup. Aftertaste has a little smokiness on it, very appealing. Smokey, tobacco, hay and a dim spiciness; pepper. Overall, for a 10yo and a very affordable price, this is quite unbeatable. Very round dram, not too complex but very easy drinkable and enjoyable. My score for it is a solid 85 over 100.

Nose: light, low alcoholic sherry, vanilla, little else. Palate: always few notes of flavor: sherry, vanilla, honey, but I feel a pleasant salty aftertaste. Short finish, which passes with nonchalance from the initial sweet to the bitter / salty. A relatively simple whisky, even underpowered with its 40°, but for this very reason it can be good at any time of the day .... Sorry for the non-epic finish, otherwise it would have deserved more. Rating 3.75 _____________________________________________ Naso: leggero, sherry poco alcolico, vaniglia, poco altro. Palato: sempre poche note di sapore: sherry, vaniglia, miele, avverto però un retrogusto piacevole di salino. Finale breve, che passa con nonchalance dall’iniziale dolce all’amaro/salino. Un whisky relativamente semplice, anche underpowered con i suoi 40*, che però proprio per questo può andare bene a qualunque orario della giornata.... Dispiace per il finale non epico, se no avrebbe meritato di più. Voto 3,75

EXPLORATION: The nose rides hot with apples and wheat. Tastes malty sweet, with a touch of bitter on the middle. Stone fruit finish with a trace of...licorice? EXHORTATION: Solid dram, but my memory of it has waned in the days since tasting. I’ll happily try it again to refresh my memory down the road.

Nose - vanilla, fig, fruity Taste - sweet, almond Finish - fruitcake and even more almond. Hint of vanilla.
