I love Edradour, it is a single malt that i crave for its finests sherry bombs, lovely reddish color and intense aroma. I am used to the "Ibisco" decanter which look a lot like a Milk bottle, but i have never tried their golden color expressions.
Golden do you say? Yes. A notoriously different Edradour that you can guess is matured only in bourbon barrels and not sherry. This is a review for a 2012 vintage, 10yo, bottled at 58.9%abv, bourbon cask matured single malt, drawn from the casks No. 223, 224, 225, 227, 228, 229 + 230 as it states in the bottle.
On the nose, it is exactly what you expect. Bananas, light rum, stinky vanilla, glazed ham... and maybe slight peat??. It is a vanilla ice cream.
On the palate, it has a very well delivered fancy vanilla taste. Brie cheese and lots of different spices.
Aftertaste follows the rythm. Peppery, spicy, bananas and coconut. Bronzer.
Overall, the powerful 58.9%abv has drawn the most classic notes you can ever get from bourbon casks. The vanilla sweetness, bananas and coconut are simply uncanny. I feel this is a very balanced dram an for a 10 year old is worth trying. My score for it is 88 over 100.
