Edradour 22yo Barolo Cask Finish

Edradour is always fantastic. The only problem i have with it, is that there is not too much whisky from this distillery in the world due to its small size. I would definitively be happier if i had more Edradour in my life. Having said that, just imagine a 22yo Edradour that has been finished for at least 9 years in a Barolo Wine Cask, the true king of wines. You just can get anything better. This marvelous dram was bottled at 55.2%abv to make it even better. The bloodish red color is the first beautiful experience that i had with this single malt. On the nose, this is so complex and beautiful. Chocolate, red wine, red fruits, marmalade and some herbal profile. It is like a frozen drink made of pralines and spices. Very floral, very grapy, very winey. It is like a Lindt chocolate with almonds. If you have ever been to a vineyard, that is the exact aroma here. On the palate, it is soooo rewarding! The most marvelous chocolate note ever, with some spices and red fruits. Cotton candy and hazelnut. More chocolate. Outstanding. Aftertaste was as good as the nose and palate. Dry and winey; it has ginger notes, chocolate and a frozen strawberry juice. Overall this is one great whisky. If most single malts were something near to this, nobody would drink water. An incredible dram, full bodied and very complex; the Barolo influence here is enormous. My score for it is 96 over 100 and i feel i am being a little harsh because it deserved more. Slàinte!
