Edradour 10 Year The Distillery Edition

Nose: very nice balanced dry fruits, raisins, honey, vanilla, very nice nose. Palate: light creamy, no burn, nice light vanilla, soft, light dry fruits, sherry, not strong, you feel one 40% Finish: surprisingly long, nice sherry and dry fruits

Nice quite ordinary. Sweet mellow and quite a bit of oak.

Clear, dark mahogany. Nose gushes fruity apple butter and strawberry jam; sweet sorghum syrup and caramelized sugar; some sherryish hazelnut; and notes of new tire rubber (complexly appealing) and saline (saline solution, not a salty seaweed Islay salinity). Lightly viscous mouthfeel on the palate with a biscuity blueberry scone element and hint of parrafin. Apple butter returns on the finish, along with gently spicy white pepper and some vanilla extract. 43% ABV. As I mentioned in my 4/21/22 note, I'm a fan of Edradour not only for its enjoyable complexity but also for its very small, artisanal production. And while the following is not always the case, I note that this is one of numerous examples where my rating differs sharply with that given by Stephanie Moreno (who rates it an 84). 4.25 on the Distiller scale. N.B. Last note 4/21/22 N.B. All spirits tasted neat from a Glencairn glass
