Everyone that loves a good sherried whisky have tried an expression of the almighty Edradour. Arguably the smallest distillery in Scotland (there seems to be two smaller ones), they mostly release limited expressions and lately they have been experimenting in some wine cask maturations, that are simply amazing.
This one is a Moscatel cask matured, with an age statement of 10yo, bottled at 57.8%abv.
On the nose this is incredible. White chocolate, buttery, almonds, lemon zest. Citric notes have risen; very floral as expected due to the moscatel maturation. A vanilla, almond butter. Wild berries. Outstanding aroma.
On the palate, it is almost perfect. White chocolate, red berries and powerful spices. After a second sip, thick caramel, sulphuric power.
Aftertaste is very good as well. Pepper and red fruits. Delicious.
Overall, this whisky can be described as the one with the most white chocolate and wild berry profile ever. For a 10yo dram, that costs less than one hundred pounds/dollars, this is pretty much unbeatable. Lots of flavor and power. The aroma is out of this world. I should call it my recommendation of the year. My score for it is 94 over 100.
