Edradour has blown my mind in the past months, and i am starting to develop fond feelings for this "scottish little gem". Caledonia 12yo is one of their expressions, a heavily sherried one (as all the others) but this can prove to be a challenge to some beginners.
Bottled at 46.5%abv, super reddish deep copper color.
On the nose: Orange caramel, maraschino cherry syrup; Red fruits, strawberry syrup .
Super sweet but a little dim. Alcohol note is powerful. Glazed pork notes also appear. Actually the nose was not that great.
On the palate it was delicious. Coffee, Sweet syrup, Sherried.
This is a nice Spicy little fellow.
Aftertaste is an atomic spice bomb. The most absolute spiciness there is. Ashes, clove, pepper and cinnamon.
Overall i really enjoyed this and the score might not reflect what it really is. 86/100. Sláinte!
