Edradour Caledonia 12 Year Old Whisky

Definitely unique. Quite a tasty drop. 5/5 for being a really interesting and mysterious sip.

This is an interesting whisky! I’ve bought a few bottles now since I always offer this one up to guests (not to get rid of it but because it’s quite unique). At first I loved this stuff, then fell out of love and now I’ve settled back at really liking and appreciating it. To me it has notes of leather, syrup, dates and a lot more I can’t quite put my finger on. Definitely tasty and gets the the extra half a star for being one of a kind.

I had a large dram whilst visiting pitlochry and forgot to buy a bottle when there so I shopped online when I got home with my go to online shop!

I love this stuff. Unfortunately, I can't find anyone in the whole bloody USA that has it anymore! I've had to settle for the 10 year.

It's amazing that there's not enough words to express it..

Like with the 10 this is a very different whisky from your run of the mill stuff. But it is just fantastic, rich silky mouth feel with deep fruits. Could easily be a 15 or 18 year old whisky

Oranges, oak, honey, sandalwood on the nose. All this plus dried fig, toasted almonds and liquorice on the palate.
Long warming finish. Orange blossom, woodsmoke, vanilla toffee & cocoa powder on the finish.

Great stuff - sherry influence very prominent, complex and rich. Good mouthfeel, scotch mist like no other!

Also, great value where I’m buying (Sweden).

Interesting expression from an interesting distillery.

Being a big fan of this distillery, i decided to try this Dougie McClean dram. Its a very rich whisky; a touch more so than the 10, the extra 2 years have produced more chocolate and a nice honey and more sherried whisky, and a great longish finish.
again it is improved by the slightest drop of water; opens up by a huge margin... quality stuff but imo needs that 1/4 teaspoon of water.

The more whisky I drink...and I’ve been drinking it for quite a few years...the more I’m drawn to those which are not chill-filtered and are naturally colored. Some distilleries like Ardbeg, Springbank, Bunnahabhain and Glendronach don’t do it at all, while others like Powers and Edradour only release certain expressions that are not chill-filtered and are naturally colored. Comparing this 12 with the standard 10, which is also very good and naturally colored, makes the case that whisky should never be chill filtered. The flavors are so complex and deep that it’s hard to believe this is only two years older. I must also add that the 46% abv makes a world of difference as well.
