What's in a name? Edradour 11 Year Old 1998 Bordeaux - Straight from the Cask whisky is called whisky because it's produced in Scotland. Were it from America it would be spelled Edradour 11 Year Old 1998 Bordeaux - Straight from the Cask whiskey, rather than whisky.
It has a differnet smell of flowers and sweet. The taste is nice and the finish is lingering. I would not call it a smooth finish. For the price, I would move on.
