Edradour
This Caledonia Edradour is a single malt specially selected by songwriter Douglas Maclean and named after his famous song, Caledonia following a 12-year maturation in oloroso sherry casks.
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.
This is not a whisky for someone just beginning their journey into tasting single malt Scotches. This is a very brave, unchillfiltered, complex single malt appealing to the sensations: fusial, aromatic, astringent and resinous compounds. An unapologetic whisky.
I was actually quite disappointed with this Edradour .. I personally prefer the standard 10 year. I don't like smokey whiskey at all but I tasted more than a hint of it here and the sherry tones I like in a malt whiskey were not very prevalent here. I won't be buying this again I'm afraid.
I love the Islay whiskeys but this one has something different than others from the mainland. Much better than most of the 12 yo. For ne this one tastes more mature than 12 yo. I apologize from the professionals. ;)
Very different smooth and rich in taste
