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.

@PBMichiganWolverine i have had a bunch of edradours but never from their ballechin line. I will look for them
@Jose-Massu-Espinel I really like Edradour as well, really under-rated. Their Ballechin line is amazing.
